NOvA
The NuMI Off-Axis Appearance experiment is designed to study neutrinos and their interaction properties with matter. NOvA is a long-baseline neutrino oscillation experiment consisting of a Near Detector at Fermi National Accelerator and Far Detector in Ash River, Minnesota aiming to determine the neutrino mass hierarchy, and constrain the charge parity violation phase. In addition to oscillation measurements, the NOvA Near Detector has detected a vast number of neutrinos, making it an ideal candidate for measuring neutrino cross-sections, which are important for constraining uncertainties in oscillation analyses. Here, we present the status of an analysis that will use an accumulated protons on target from the NuMI beam peaked at 1.8GeV of neutrino energy to measure the cross-section of νμ + N → μ± + Nπ± + X as a function of muon and pion kinematics, where Nπ± is any number of charged pions, X represents any particles in the final state and the muon is contained.
