“…Several possible explanations can be invoked to explain the newly observed deficit of reactor antineutrinos at experiments placed closer than 100 m away from reactor cores. There is a large uncertainty associated to the weak magnetism term entering in the computation of beta decay spectra, which could change the normalization of the predictions of the detected antineutrino flux if revealed too far from the adopted value [7]. In addition, these converted spectra rely entirely on the normalization of the ILL data, for which no other measurement exist.…”

“…A huge effort was devoted to reactor simulations [5] and to revisit the existing methods to compute the antineutrino energy spectrum emitted by the plant, as a precise prediction is mandatory to compare with the far detector measurements. These new calculations [6,7], based on the conversion of the very precise integral beta spectra measured by Schreckenbach et al at the ILL reactor [8], have led to a reinterpretation of the results of the short baseline reactor neutrino experiments [9], evidencing a deficit of the measured reactor antineutrino flux w.r.t. the prediction, @3 .…”

Abstract. 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 energy spectra, based on the conversion of integral data of the beta spectra from 235 U, and 239;241 Pu, a deficit of reactor antineutrinos measured by short baseline experiments was pointed out. This is called the "reactor anomaly", a new puzzle in the neutrino physics area. Since then, numerous new experimental neutrino projects have emerged. In parallel, computations of the antineutrino spectra independant from the ILL data would be desirable. One possibility is the use of the summation method, summing all the contributions of the fission product beta decay branches that can be found in nuclear databases. Studies have shown that in order to obtain reliable summation antineutrino energy spectra, new nuclear physics measurements of selected fission product beta decay properties are required. In these proceedings, we will present the computation methods of reactor antineutrino energy spectra and the impact of recent beta decay measurements on summation method spectra. The link of these nuclear physics studies with short baseline line oscillation search will be drawn and new neutrino physics projects at research reactors will be briefly presented.

New generation of reactor neutrino experiments, Daya Bay and RENO, have made definitive measurements of the smallest neutrino mixing angle  13 in 2012, based on the disappearance of electron antineutrinos. More precise measurements of the mixing angle and reactor neutrino spectra have been made and presented. A rather large value of  13 has opened a new window to find the CP violation phase and to determine the neutrino mass hierarchy. Future reactor experiments, JUNO and RENO-50, are proposed to determine the neutrino mass hierarchy and to make highly precise measurements of  12 m 21 2 , andm 31 2 
