Reactor antineutrinos and nuclear physics

Neutral Current and the Nuclear Scattering of Reactor Antineutrinos

Thehistory ofexperiments on neutrino-induced reactions extends back more than two decades. The early experiments were concerned with establishing the existence of neutrinos t, and later the existence of two different types of neutrinos 2), the' conservation of lepton numbers and the search for intermediate bosons 3'4) . In terms of the current-current weak interaction, the neutrino had been, un...

Design and Implementation of a Reactor Physics Laboratory Simulation Software

The basic structure of a reactor physics laboratory environment simulation software, developed using object modeling technique (OMT), and based on the reactor point kinetic equation, is presented. Also, various capabilities of the simulator in teaching the fundamental concepts of reactor physics are discussed. In this virtual laboratory, student can perform seven different experiments, ...

Search for Oscillations of Reactor Antineutrinos at Very Short Baselines

Anomalous results from a variety of neutrino experiments, astrophysical observations, and cosmology suggest the possible existence of sterile neutrinos. Most recently, a re-analysis of short-baseline reactor neutrino experiments has revealed a discrepancy between observations and the predicted antineutrino flux. While the spectral shape and uncertainties obtained in this work are comparable to ...
