NOvA’s latest appearance and disappearance results, corresponding to 6.05E20 POT) have been submitted for publication. Both results are posted to the HEP archives ( https://arxiv.org/pdf/1701.05891.pdf and https://arxiv.org/pdf/1703.03328.pdf ). The results utilize the first two years of neutrino (forward horn current) operation. The appearance results show a slight preference for normal mass hierarchy and delta_CP around …

The latest NOvA results show indications that the muon and tau flavor states may not maximally mix and that the third neutrino mass state is dominated by one or the other. The result corresponds to about one sixth of NOvA’s expected data set. Data collected over the next year should firm up the measurement. The …
