Spectral structure of electron antineutrinos from nuclear reactors.
Recent measurements of the positron energy spectrum obtained from inverse beta decay interactions of reactor electron antineutrinos show an excess in the 4 to 6 MeV region relative to current predictions. First-principles calculations of fission and beta decay processes within a typical pressurized water reactor core identify prominent fission daughter isotopes as a possible origin for this exc...
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...
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 کاملRecoilless Resonant Emission and Detection of Electron Antineutrinos
Recoilless resonant capture of monoenergetic electron antineutrinos (Mössbauer antineutrinos) emitted in bound-state β -decay in the system 3H 3He is discussed. The recoilfree fraction including a possible phonon excitation due to local lattice expansion and contraction at the time of the nuclear transition, homogeneous and inhomogeneous line broadening, and the relativistic second-order Dopple...
