Investigation of the Reactor Antineutrino Anomaly with CeLAND (Final Technical Report)
- Univ. of Hawaii, Honolulu, HI (United States)
The goal of this project has been to investigate reactor antineutrino anomaly by searching for the oscillation signature of the hypothesized 4th neutrino flavor. The 4th neutrino flavor is often referred to as sterile, not interacting with matter and can be only observed via disappearance of standard model neutrino flavors. It is also anticipated to be heavy and therefore disappearance due to sterile neutrino oscillations is expected to happen within few meters from the neutrino source. As such, the effect can be investigated with either reactor antineutrinos few meters from the reactor core or with the dedicated strong antineutrino source close to a large liquid scintillator detector to detect antineutrinos coming from the source.
