NOvA shines new light on how neutrinos behave August 8, 2016 IndianaIndiana UniversityMinnesotaneutrinoNOvAoscillationUniversity of MinnesotaPress release NOvA scientists have seen evidence that one of the three neutrino mass states might not include equal parts of muon and tau flavor, as previously thought. Scientists refer to this as “nonmaximal mixing,” and NOvA’s result is the first hint that this may be the case for the third mass state.
