First measurement of electron neutrino appearance in NOvA
We report results from the first search for νμ → νe transitions by the NOvA experiment. In an exposure equivalent to 2.74×10^20 protons on target in the upgraded NuMI beam at Fermilab, we observe 6 events in the Far Detector, compared to a background expectation of 0.99±0.11(syst) events based on th...
