Discovery of $\nu_\tau$ appearance and recent results from OPERA

The OPERA experiment was designed to observe ${\nu_{\mu}}$ ${\rightarrow}$ ${\nu_{\tau}}$ oscillations through ${\nu_{\tau}}$ appearance at a baseline of 730 km in the CNGS beam. Newly developed emulsion analysis technology allows to measure ${\nu_e}$, ${\nu_{\mu}}$ and ${\nu_{\tau}}$ interactions with the largest emulsion detector ever made. OPERA has detected five ${\nu_{\tau}}$ candidates, allowing to reject the background-only hypothesis at 5.1 ${\sigma}$. The parameters for standard and non-standard oscillations are measured and constrained.
