Neutrino Oscillation Experiments at Nuclear Reactors
In this paper I give an overview of the status of neutrino oscillation experiments performed using nuclear reactors as sources of neutrinos. I review the present generation of experiments (Chooz and Palo Verde) with baselines of about 1 km as well as the next generation that will search for oscillations with a baseline of about 100 km. While the present detectors provide essential input towards...
متن کاملNeutrino Oscillation Experiments Using Accelerators and Reactors
These lectures emphasize neutrino oscillation experiments using accelerators and reactors. We describe past, present, and proposed experiments. A brief introduction to neutrino oscillations is given at the beginning. The technology of beams and detectors for neutrino experiments is described briefly. 1997 by Stanley Wojcicki.
متن کاملNeutrino Oscillation Experiments at Fermilab
Neutrinos are special. They are the only elementary fermions which are neutral, thus they can be their own antiparticles. Their masses (if nonzero) are several orders of magnitude smaller than those of charged leptons or quarks. These two facts may be, in fact, related: with both Dirac and Majorana, masses present, the neutrino mass eigenstates will naturally split, with the light mass eigensta...
متن کاملNuclear propelled vessels and neutrino oscillation experiments.
We study the effect of naval nuclear reactors on the study of neutrino oscillations. We find that the presence of naval reactors at unknown locations and times may limit the accuracy of future very long baseline reactor-based neutrino oscillation experiments. At the same time, we argue that a nuclear powered surface ship such as a large Russian icebreaker may provide an ideal source for precisi...
متن کاملNeutrino oscillation studies with reactors
Nuclear reactors are one of the most intense, pure, controllable, cost-effective and well-understood sources of neutrinos. Reactors have played a major role in the study of neutrino oscillations, a phenomenon that indicates that neutrinos have mass and that neutrino flavours are quantum mechanical mixtures. Over the past several decades, reactors were used in the discovery of neutrinos, were cr...
