SUMMARY:Sterile Neutrino Search with the NOvA Detectors\, Thesis Defen
 se\, Harry Hausner \, Physics PhD Graduate Student
DESCRIPTION:NOvA is a two detector experiment designed to observe neut
 rino oscillations from $\\nu\\mu$ to $\\nu_e$ flavor states. Additiona
 lly\, the location of the NOvA Near Detector is well situated to addit
 ionally observe short baseline oscillations to sterile neutrino states
 . We expand upon previous NOvA sterile neutrino searches by using a co
 variance matrix fitting technique. This analysis is the first with NOv
 A to directly include neutrino interactions in the Near Detector while
  fitting the data. The NOvA Near Detector's greater statistics to bett
 er constrain our Far Detector uncertainties in addition to increasing 
 the range of $\\Delta m^2{41}$ to which we are sensitive.<br>
