    abstract = "This paper reports the first measurement using the NOvA detectors of
nu(mu) disappearance in a nu(mu) beam. The analysis uses a 14
kton-equivalent exposure of 2.74 x 10(20) protons-on-target from the
Fermilab NuMI beam. Assuming the normal neutrino mass hierarchy, we
measure Delta m(32)(2) = (2.52(-0.18)(+0.20)) x 10(-3) eV(2) and sin(2)
theta(23) in the range 0.38-0.65, both at the 68% confidence level,
with two statistically degenerate best-fit points at sin(2) theta(23) =
0.43 and 0.60. Results for the inverted mass hierarchy are also
presented."
