\subsubsection{CP Violation}  Another useful way in which the oscillation of neutrinos between various flavors is in the studying the degree to which nature conserves charge and parity.   While at NO$\nu$A they are looking at $\mu^{+}$ decays into muon neutrinos, if there was no CP violation, if nature perfectly conserved charged and parity then the data gathered at NO$\nu$A could apply equally well to positive or negative muons.   To encompass this, equation \ref{eq:twoflavor-result} is modified to  \begin{equation}  P(\nu_{\mu} \rightarrow \nu_{e}) = \sin^2 2\theta \sin^2 \frac{L(m_{1}^2 - m_{2}^2)}{4 E} \sin \delta  \end{equation}  where $\delta$ is the CP violating phase, a measure of the amount by which charge and parity are violated.
