NOvA is a long baseline accelerator neutrino experiment designed to measure neutrino oscillations. The NOvA Test Beam program aims to constrain major systematic errors by analyzing tagged charged particles in the 0.2 - 2.0 GeV/c momentum range. To this end, a smaller replica of the NOvA far and near detectors was placed in the Fermilab Test Beam Facility, where it has been taking data since 2019. Furthermore, the measurement of the neutral-current production cross-section of at least one neutral pion above detection threshold in the near detector will help reduce the background of the electron neutrino appearance channel.
