Abstract: This is an updated version of the NOvA proposal The detector is a 30 kiloton tracking calorimeter, 157 m by 157 m by 132 m long, with alternating horizontal and vertical rectangular cells of liquid scintillator contained in PVC extrusion modules Light from each 157 m long cell of liquid scintillator filled PVC is collected by a wavelength shifting fiber and routed to an avalanche photodiode pixel The reach of NOvA for sin^2(2_theta_13) and related topics is increased relative to earlier versions of the proposal with the assumption of increased protons available from the Fermilab Main Injector following the end of Tevatron Collider operations in 2009

Another possible way to determine the neutrino mass hierarchy
TL;DR: In this article, the mass hierarchy of the neutrino sector was determined by combining high precision measurements of the atmospheric $ensuremath{delta{m}^{2}$ in both the electron and muon neutrinos disappearance channels.

Quantifying the sensitivity of oscillation experiments to the neutrino mass ordering
TL;DR: In this article, the type of the neutrino mass ordering (normal versus inverted) is determined and a statistical interpretation of the statistical interpretation is given. But, it is not discussed in this paper.
Quantifying the sensitivity of oscillation experiments to the neutrino mass ordering
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors show that the median sensitivity in this limit is very close to standard sensitivities based on δ-chi^2 values from a data set without statistical fluctuations, such as widely used in the literature.

Scalar Nonstandard Interactions in Neutrino Oscillation.

TL;DR: A synergy of different types of experiments, especially those with matter density variation, is necessary to identify the scalar NSI and guarantee the measurement of CP violation at accelerator experiments.

Enhancing sensitivity to neutrino parameters at INO combining muon and hadron information
TL;DR: The ICAL experiment at INO has been used to identify the neutrino mass hierarchy from observations of atmospheric neutrinos, and help improve the precision on the atmospheric NN mixing parameters as discussed by the authors.
