NOvA Experiment
Systematic uncertainities heavily influence the measurement of oscillation parameters. To adress this, the NOvA Test Beam program was established to ensure a better understanding of detector response to charged particles (electrons, protons, pions, and kaons). The NOvA Test Beam program used a scaled-down 30-ton version equipped with both FD and ND technologies to take data at Fermilab's Test Beam Facility from 2019-2021. Analysis of this data is currently ongoing. In this presentation, I will discuss my exploration of reducing uncertainites using Test Beam protons, presenting some preliminary results.
