Description

The primary goal of the NOvA experiment at Fermilab is to search for evidence of muon to electron neutrino oscillations. NOvA will use two detectors, the near detector located underground at Fermilab in the NuMI tunnels and the far detector located 810 km from Fermilab on the US-Canada border in Ash River, Minnesota. This paper discusses the survey of the NOvA near detector.
