Join the physics seminar from 2 to 3 p.m. Wednesday Oct. 8 in 127 Jabara Hall. The seminar features Dr. Andrew Dye, postdoctoral researcher at Wichita State, who will present the NOvA experiment’s 2024 3-Flavor Oscillation Analysis, based on a decade of data.
The analysis applies the Feldman-Cousins technique for precise confidence intervals, enabled by large-scale parallel computing on NERSC’s Perlmutter supercomputer. A new Importance Sampling method is introduced to improve efficiency in exploring extreme parameter regions, highlighting how advanced computation and statistical innovation are expanding the reach of neutrino oscillation studies.
