Description

The NO$\nu$A experiment is a neutrino oscillation experiment based out of Fermilab. It will use the newly upgraded NuMI beam line with one detector at Fermilab and a second 14 kton, liquid scintillator detector currently being constructed 810 km from Fermilab in northern Minnesota. The $\nu_{\mu}$ disappearance analysis can significantly improve the world's best measurement of $\theta_{23}$ and $|\Delta m^2_{32}|$. Presented here are the expected sensitivities from this analysis as well as initial commissioning data from the far detector.
