Neutrino oscillations and CP violation: analysis of NOvA data

Abstract

This work represents the initiation of the author into research in the phenomenology of neutrino oscillations in the present experimental context. As a start, the formalism and most important aspects of neutrino oscillation phenomenology are reviewed in Chapter 1. Additionally, a brief overview of the different experiments that have led to the current global picture is presented, giving particular attention to accelerator neutrino experiments.The original part of this work focuses on the analysis of the results from the NOvA experiment, the latest in the neutrino oscillation experimental programme, with the aim of quantifying their impact in the present understanding of neutrino oscillation parameters.
