2024 NOvA Masterclass @ CSU

  Activity: Particle Cards
  Presentation: Intro NOvA & Goal

• Intro Slides - slides 1-10
• Goal: Do we see evidence of neutrino oscillation?
• "Cheat sheet"

  NOvA Analysis, Part 1 (Far Detector) - slides 11-22

• Part 1 A - Far Detector, Charged Current "NuMu"
  • Link to 6 Events
  • Link to CC Form
• Part 1 B - Far Detector, Neutral Current
  • Link to 40 Events
  • Link to NC Form
• Link to Part 1 Spreadsheet/Results
  • What is the length we will use to separate CC from NC events?

  NOvA Analysis, Part 2 (Near Detector) - slides 23-24

• Python Near Event Analysis - Participant Version
  • Do a “File  Make a Copy”
  • Github link

  Pre-conference

• Recruit a couple of students to be representatives for videocon
• Present answers to the following questions:
  • What was the cut-off length we used to separate CC NuMu and NC events?
  • Did we see evidence of neutrino oscillation? What was our evidence and reasoning?
