DESCRIPTION:NOvA is an off-axis long-baseline neutrino experiment\, lookin
 g for nu_e appearance in an upgraded NuMI beam of nu_mu to search for thet
 a_13 acting in subdominant nu_mu->nu_e transitions.  As an appearance expe
 riment\, NOvA might also be sensitive to CP-violating delta and the neutri
 no mass hierarchy.  To maximize sensitivity to the resulting ~GeV electrom
 agnetic showers\, the 14kton Far Detector is "totally active"\, comprised 
 of liquid scintillator contained in 15.7m long extruded PVC cells\, with t
 he scintillation light piped out in wavelength shifting fibers then digiti
 zed by avalanche photodiodes.  Civil construction at the far detector site
  is underway\, and the smaller near detector is being assembled at Fermila
 b.
