Abstract
The NOvA experiment is a two-detector long-baseline neutrino experiment for
addressing the main open questions in neutrino oscillation physics
through precision measurements of neutrino and antineutrino oscillations. It
uses the NuMI beam from FNAL and a finely segmented 14-kton
far detector at Ash River, Minnesota. The "fully active" detector design
provides outstanding event identification capacity,
which allows precision measurement of oscillation parameters in
both appearance and disappearance of neutrinos and anti-neutrinos.
In particular constraints will be obtained on theta_13, theta_23,
|Delta M^2_atm|, neutrino mass ordering and the CP-violation phase. I will
report on results from the first phase using 8 percent of the
nominal exposure.
