The OPERA Experiment - Latest Results — •Annika Hollnagel for the OPERA-Hamburg collaboration — Universität Hamburg, Institut für Experimentalphysik
The long-baseline neutrino oscillation experiment OPERA has been designed for the direct observation of ντ appearance in the CNGS νµ beam.
The OPERA detector is located at the LNGS underground laboratory, with a distance of 730 km from the neutrino source at CERN. It is a hybrid detector, combining the micrometric precision of emulsion cloud chambers with electronic detector elements for online readout.
While CNGS beam data taking lasted from 2008 to 2012, the neutrino oscillation analysis is still ongoing. Updated results with increased statistics will be presented, including the recent observation of ντ appearance.
