Abstract. This paper briefly describes recent progress of RENO and next generation future prospect of the reactor neutrino oscillation experiment, RENO-50. Recently the RENO experiment has updated its latest value on sin 2 2θ 13 and provided new results on 5 MeV excess, m 2 ee , θ 13 with n-H analysis, absolute antineutrino flux measurement, and sterile neutrino search. It gives rich programs of neutrino properties, detector development, nuclear monitoring and application. Using reactor neutrinos, the future RENO-50 experiment will search for more precise measurement of θ 12 , Δm 2 12 and mass hierarchy.

“…Organic liquid scintillator (LS) is widely used to detect reactor neutrinos [1][2][3][4][5] due to its high light yield and high hydrogen fraction. Liquid scintillator is made of a solvent and a small amount of fluor, and often with an additional tiny amount of wavelength shifter.…”

Temperature dependence of the light yield of the LAB-based and mesitylene-based liquid scintillators

et al. 2014

We studied the temperature dependence of the light yield of the linear alkyl benzene (LAB)-based and mesitylene-based liquid scintillators. The light yield increases by 23% for both liquid scintillators when the temperature is lowered from 26• C to −40• C, correcting for the temperature response of the photomultiplier tube. The measurements help to understand the energy response of the liquid scintillator detectors. Especially, the next generation reactor neutrino experiments for neutrino mass hierarchy, such as the Jiangmen Underground Neutrino Observatory (JUNO), require very high energy resolution. As no apparent degradation on the liquid scintillator transparency was observed, lowering the operation temperature of the detector to ∼ 4• C will increase the photoelectron yield of the detector by 13%, combining the light yield increase of the liquid scintillator and the quantum efficiency increase of the photomultiplier tubes.
