Description
The neutrino oscillations experiment NOvA is the flagship of Fermi National Laboratory. The neutrino source NuMI is delivering record numbers of protons-on-target surpassing the most stringent dark matter production upper limits of current models in the under-10 GeV mass range. We take advantage of the sophisticated particle identification algorithms of the experiment to interrogate the data from the 300-ton, off-axis, low-Z, Near Detector of NOvA during the experiment’s first physics runs. We search for signatures of Dark Matter, Axion-like-particles, and Heavy or Sterile Neutrino that may scatter or decay in the volume of the detector.
