Description
The event yield for the NuMI (Neutrinos at Main Injector)-Axis νe Appearance (NOvA) experiment is written as: N ∝ (beam power)(t)(ν per proton)x(M)(ε) where, the number of protons on target is beam power multiplied by the running time (t) of the experiment, M is the mass of the neutrino detector and ε is the detector efficiency for finding the events of interest. ν per proton is the efficiency of the NuMI target and horn system to produce useful neutrinos in the NOvA detector. We look systematically at ways which might increase the ν per proton yield of the NuMI target and horn system in 1-3 GeV energy range
