Syracuse University has now officially joined the NOvA experiment. Prof. Whittington has been a member of NOvA since 2013 when he joined through Indiana University as a postdoctoral researcher. This weekend, Whittington successfully petitioned the collaboration to add Syracuse University to its ranks. He and graduate student Abhilash Yallappa Dombara are the first NOvA collaborators from the neutrino group. They will initially focus on understanding the neutrino and antineutrino composition of NOvA’s antineutrino-mode data, crucial to improving the precision of neutrino oscillation physics measurements.
