Abstract

The NOvA experiment has been collecting data in the NuMI neutrino beam since 2014. In this article we describe the rich physics program of the experiment, including long-baseline oscillation measurements, neutrino cross-section measurements, searches for phenomena beyond the standard three flavor oscillation paradigm, as well as astrophysical searches. Only half way through its expected run plan, NOvA will continue to explore exciting physics topics through 2026 and beyond.
