Improved measurement of the reactor antineutrino flux and spectrum at Daya Bay

Journal Article An, F. P. ; Balantekin, A. B. ; Band, H. R. ; ... - Chinese Physics C, High Energy Physics and Nuclear Physics

© Article funded by SCOAP3 and published under licence by Chinese Physical Society and the Institute of High Energy Physics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and the Institute of Modern Physics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and IOP Publishing Ltd. A new measurement of the reactor antineutrino flux and energy spectrum by the Daya Bay reactor neutrino experiment is reported. The antineutrinos were generated by six 2.9 GW th nuclear reactors and detected by eight antineutrino detectors deployed in two near (560 m and 600 m flux-weighted baselines) and one far (1640 m flux-weighted baseline) underground experimental halls.more »« less

Improved measurement of the reactor antineutrino flux at Daya Bay

Journal Article Adey, D. ; An, F. P. ; Balantekin, A. B. ; ... - Physical Review. D.

This work reports a precise measurement of the reactor antineutrino flux using 2.2 million inverse beta decay (IBD) events collected with the Daya Bay near detectors in 1230 days. The dominant uncertainty on the neutron detection efficiency is reduced by 56% with respect to the previous measurement through a comprehensive neutron calibration and detailed data and simulation analysis. The new average IBD yield is determined to be (5.91±0.09)×10^-43 cm²/fission with total uncertainty improved by 29%. The corresponding mean fission fractions from the four main fission isotopes ²³⁵U, ²³⁸U, ²³⁹Pu, and ²⁴¹Pu are 0.564, 0.076, 0.304, and 0.056, respectively. The ratiomore »« less

Improved Measurement of the Evolution of the Reactor Antineutrino Flux and Spectrum at Daya Bay

Journal Article An, F. P. ; Bai, W. D. ; Balantekin, A. B. ; ... - Physical Review Letters

Reactor neutrino experiments play a crucial role in advancing our knowledge of neutrinos. In this Letter, the evolution of the flux and spectrum as a function of the reactor isotopic content is reported in terms of the inverse-beta-decay yield at Daya Bay with 1958 days of data and improved systematic uncertainties. These measurements are compared with two signature model predictions: the Huber-Mueller model based on the conversion method and the SM2018 model based on the summation method. The measured average flux and spectrum, as well as the flux evolution with the ²³⁹Pu isotopic fraction, are inconsistent with the predictions ofmore »« less

Joint Determination of Reactor Antineutrino Spectra from U 235 and Pu 239 Fission by Daya Bay and PROSPECT

Journal Article An, F. P. ; Andriamirado, M. ; Balantekin, A. B. ; ... - Physical Review Letters

A joint determination of the reactor antineutrino spectra resulting from the fission of ²³⁵U and ²³⁹Pu has been carried out by the Daya Bay and PROSPECT Collaborations. This Letter reports the level of consistency of ²³⁵U spectrum measurements from the two experiments and presents new results from a joint analysis of both data sets. Here, the measurements are found to be consistent. The combined analysis reduces the degeneracy between the dominant ²³⁵U and ²³⁹Pu isotopes and improves the uncertainty of the ²³⁵U spectral shape to about 3%. The ²³⁵U and ²³⁹Pu antineutrino energy spectra are unfolded from the jointly deconvolvedmore »« less

Measurement of the reactor antineutrino flux and spectrum at Daya Bay

Journal Article D. E. Jaffe ; Bishai, M ; Diwan, M. ; ... - Physical Review Letters

This Letter reports a measurement of the flux and energy spectrum of electron antineutrinos from six 2.9~GW_th nuclear reactors with six detectors deployed in two near (effective baselines 512~m and 561~m) and one far (1,579 m) underground experimental halls in the Daya Bay experiment. Using 217 days of data, 296,721 and 41,589 inverse beta decay (IBD) candidates were detected in the near and far halls, respectively. The measured IBD yield is (1.55 ± 0.04) × 10^–18 cm²/GW/day or (5.92 ± 0.14) × 10^–43 cm²/fission. This flux measurement is consistent with previous short-baseline reactor antineutrino experiments and is 0.946 ± 0.022more »« less
