The NOvA experiment consists of two functionally identical liquid scintillator detectors to study neutrino oscillations over an 810 km baseline using Fermilab’s NuMI neutrino beam.  In additional to world-leading studies of oscillations between the three known neutrino flavors, NOvA is searching for evidence of oscillations involving an additional, sterile, neutrino.  Despite observations of neutrino oscillations from the majority of experiments being consistent with a 3-neutrino mixing framework, results from LSND and MiniBooNE are incompatible with this model but could be explained by incorporating a sterile neutrino state.  These intriguing results are not conclusive and are in tension with findings from other short-baseline and long-baseline experiments.



I will describe the NOvA experiment and show the latest oscillation results, including a novel sterile search using antineutrinos, and discuss the allowed limits on the mixing angles governing the oscillations.  I will also talk about future improvements to the oscillation analyses, in particular highlighting an ongoing test beam program designed to improve our understanding of the detectors and allow more precise analyses through a reduction of the uncertainties.
