Plenary talk

A new generation of experiments have measured the IBD antineutrino spectrum generated by nuclear reactors in the last 12 years with unprecedented accuracy. With respect to the Huber-Mueller model, they have revealed a short-distance deficit, manifesting as an over-prediction at the top of the spectrum, as well as an underprediction at around 6 MeV - which has become colloquially known as...

698. Accurate neutrino measurements at short distances from reactors

David Lhuillier (CEA-Saclay)

6/17/24, 5:10 PM

Plenary talk

The unveiling of the reactor antineutrino anomaly in 2011 revived interest in measurements at very short distances from reactors with primary motivation to test the hypothesis of an oscillation towards a sterile neutrino of mass around 1 eV as an explanation for the observed deficit of neutrinos compared with predictions. An experimental program has been developed at commercial as well as...
