Abstract
Uncertainties related to the effect of neutrino coherent forward scattering in Earth's matter (MSW mechanism) and with the cross sections of quasi-elastic neutrino scattering on nuclear targets of the NOA detectors are studied. The NOA sensitivity to the neutrino mass hierarchy and the CP violating phase is discussed.
