RENO (Reactor Experiment for Neutrino Oscillation) is the reactor neutrino experiment which has been taking data from August 2011 with two identical near and far detectors at Hanbit Nuclear Power Plant, Yonggwang, Korea. Using 2,200 days of data, sin 2 2θ 13 and |∆m 2 ee | are precisely measured based on spectral shape of reactor antineutrinos events with delayed neutron captured by Gd : sin 2 2θ 13 = 0.0896 ± 0.0048(stat.) ± 0.0047(syst.) and |∆m 2 ee | = 2.68 ± 0.12(stat.) ± 0.07(syst.)(×10 −3 eV 2 ). Another independent measurement is carried out via antineutrino events with delayed neutron captured by hydrogen based on rate-only information : sin 2 2θ 13 = 0.085 ± 0.008(stat.) ± 0.012(syst.). We also observe a fuel 235 U dependent variation of reactor antineutrino yield with 6.7 σ and 2.6 σ significant hint of the correlation between 5 MeV excess and 235 U fission fraction.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
