KamLAND has measured the flux of nu;(e)'s from distant nuclear reactors. We find fewer nu;(e) events than expected standard assumptions about propagation at 99.95% C.L. In a 162 ton.yr exposure ratio observed inverse beta-decay to number without disappearance is 0.611+/-0.085(stat)+/-0.041(syst) for energies >3.4 MeV. context two-flavor neutrino oscillations with CPT invariance, all solutions solar problem except "large mixing angle" region are excluded.
The Double Chooz experiment presents an indication of reactor electron antineutrino disappearance consistent with neutrino oscillations. An observed-to-predicted ratio events 0.944±0.016(stat)±0.040(syst) was obtained in 101 days running at the nuclear power plant France, two 4.25 GW(th) reactors. results were from a single 10 m(3) fiducial volume detector located 1050 m cores. flux prediction used Bugey4 measurement after correction for differences core composition. deficit can be...
We present results of a study neutrino oscillation based on 766 ton-year exposure KamLAND to reactor anti-neutrinos. observe 258 \nuebar\ candidate events with energies above 3.4 MeV compared 365.2 expected in the absence oscillation. Accounting for 17.8 background events, statistical significance \nuebar disappearance is 99.998%. The observed energy spectrum disagrees spectral shape at 99.6% and prefers distortion from effects. A two-neutrino analysis data gives \DeltaMSq =...

Radioactive isotopes produced through cosmic muon spallation are a background for rare-event detection in $\nu$ detectors, double-$\beta$-decay experiments, and dark-matter searches. Understanding the nature of cosmogenic backgrounds is particularly important future experiments aiming to determine pep CNO solar neutrino fluxes, which dominated by production $^{11}$C. Data from Kamioka liquid-scintillator antineutrino detector (KamLAND) provides valuable information better understanding these...

The Double Chooz experiment has determined the value of neutrino oscillation parameter $\theta_{13}$ from an analysis inverse beta decay interactions with neutron capture on hydrogen. This uses a three times larger fiducial volume than standard assessment, which is restricted to region doped gadolinium (Gd), yielding exposure 113.1 GW-ton-years. data sample used in this distinct that Gd analysis, and systematic uncertainties are also largely independent, some exceptions, such as reactor flux...
We present the results of a search for extraterrestrial electron antineutrinos ('s) in energy range using KamLAND detector. In an exposure 4.53 kton-year, we identify 25 candidate events. All events can be attributed to background, most importantly neutral current atmospheric neutrino interactions, setting upper limit on probability 8B solar νe's converting into 's at 5.3 × 10−5 (90% CL), if assume undistorted shape. This corresponds flux 93 cm−2 s−1 or event rate 1.6 (kton − year)−1 above...
