#NOVA NEUTRINO SERIES#
On top of world-leading neutrino oscillation measurements, NOvA has produced a series of other interesting results, including double differential measurements in lepton kinematics of the inclusive cross section for muon neutrinos and electron neutrinos (the first such measurement for electron neutrinos), limits on a sterile neutrino in long-baseline disappearance of the expected rate of neutral current interactions in a neutrino and antineutrino beam, and searches for multi-messenger neutrino signals coincident with gravitational waves. NOvA was the first experiment to use convolutional neural networks in a particle physics analysis: our use of convolutional visual networks provided an improvement in the signal-to-background of selected electron neutrino candidates equivalent to a 30% increase in detector fiducial volume! Following upgrades to the Fermilab accelerator complex and the NuMI (Neutrinos from the Main Injector) beamline, the proton beam power delivered to NuMI increased to the NOvA design goal of 700 kW by January 2017: NuMI is the highest intensity beam in the world! The next generation of neutrino detectors are expected to detect about 50,000 neutrinos from a similar kind of supernova. When the core of a massive star runs out of nuclear fuel, it collapses under its own gravity. About 100 billion solar neutrinos pass through your thumbnail every second, says Bahcall, and you never notice a thing. However, violent delights have violent ends. Massive stars with masses larger than 68 solar masses are very bright. NOvA has been taking physics quality beam data since early 2014. Supernova Neutrinos Another astronomical source of neutrinos is the core-collapse supernova explosion. NOvA has made the best measurement of the muon neutrino disappearance oscillation parameters to date, and is the first experiment to have observed muon antineutrinos changing into electron antineutrinos.
Comparing the near and far detector measurements we observe neutrino oscillations. NOvA uses a near and a far detector to measure the flavour and energy spectrum of the neutrinos produced at Fermilab and of the ones that reach Minnesota. A very pure beam of muon neutrinos is produced at Fermilab, near Chicago, Illinois, and directed 810km away towards Minnesota. The NuMI Off-axis Neutrino Experiment (NOvA) is designed to study neutrino oscillations in the NuMI beam at Fermilab. NOvA is a long-baseline neutrino oscillation experiment based in the US.

This technique has been used by NOvA to self-trigger on potential core-collapse supernovae in our galaxy, with an estimated sensitivity reaching out to 10 kpc distance while achieving a detection efficiency of 23% to 49% for supernovae from progenitor stars with masses of 9.6 M solar to 27 M solar, respectively.Credit: Symmetry Magazine. regardfully classists nova neoprenes mauger alberca.

From the looks of the display, that neutrino bumped into a nucleus in the detector, transferring some of its energy but leaving no electron, muon or tau: a neutral current event. Time lapse of Fermilabs NOvA neutrino experiment installing the first of 28 detector blocks in Ash River, MN.
#NOVA NEUTRINO SOFTWARE#
We describe the data-driven software trigger system developed and employed by the NOvA experiment to identify and record neutrino data from nearby galactic supernovae. On November 12, 2013, the NOvA detector in Minnesota saw its first neutrino sent in a beam from Fermilab in Illinois. This signature provides a means to study the dominant mode of energy release for a core-collapse supernova occurring in our galaxy. These detectors are also sensitive to the flux of neutrinos which are emitted during a core-collapse supernova through inverse beta decay interactions on carbon at energies of Script O(10 MeV). The NOvA long-baseline neutrino experiment uses a pair of large, segmented, liquid-scintillator calorimeters to study neutrino oscillations, using GeV-scale neutrinos from the Fermilab NuMI beam.
