We present new ν_μ → ν_e, ν_μ → ν_μ, ⊽ _μ →⊽ _e, and ⊽ _μ → ⊽ _μ oscillation measurements by the NOvA experiment, with a 50% increase in neutrino-mode beam exposure over the previously reported results. The additional data, combined with previously published neutrino and antineutrino data, are all analyzed using improved techniques and simulations. A joint fit to the ν_e, ν_μ, ⊽ _e, and ⊽ _μ candidate samples within the 3-flavor neutrino oscillation framework continues to yield a best-fit point in the normal mass …
