Contribution of recently measured nuclear data to reactor antineutrino energy spectra predictions
This paper attempts to summarize the actual problematic of reactor antineutrino energy spectra in the frame of fundamental and applied neutrino physics. Nuclear physics is an important ingredient of reactor antineutrino experiments. These experiments are motivated by neutrino oscillations, i.e. the measure of the 13 mixing angle. In 2011, after a new computation of the reactor antineutrino ener...
متن کاملUnderstanding the Determination of Neutrino Mixing Angles With ν̄es from Nuclear Reactors
Since the proposition of the neutrino as a fundamental particle in 1930, it has proved to be difficult to study, primarily because of its relatively rare interactions with matter at naturally occurring energies. Deducing the neutrino’s flavor mixing properties, then, is an exercise in precision measurement and clever experimental design. Nuclear reactor provide an intense, well known source of ...
متن کاملSafety of Nuclear Reactors
Nuclear reactors have, during the first twenty years of their existence, achieved an impressive safety record, possibly exceeding that of any comparable industry. As revealed in apaper byHenriB. Smets of the European Nuclear Energy Agency, there have been recorded during this period of time but six fatalities and less than 30 persons seriously irradiated from reactor accidents. Three of the fat...
متن کاملNuclear Weapons and Nuclear Reactors
This report addresses the tenuous link between nuclear power reactor development and the proliferation of nuclear weapons, particularly with respect to possible terrorist exploitation. Arguments are presented that contradict the popular image of nuclear weaponry as a "basement project". 4 CONTENTS
متن کاملAntineutrinos from nuclear reactors: recent oscillation measurements
Nuclear reactors are themost intenseman-made source of antineutrinos, providing a useful tool for the study of these particles. Oscillation due to the neutrinomixing angleθ13 is revealed by the disappearance of reactor νe over∼kmdistances. Use of additional identical detectors located near nuclear reactors reduce systematic uncertainties related to reactorνe emission and detector efficiency, si...
