Title: Measurement of the Antineutrino Spectrum from ${}^{235}U$ Fission at HFIR with PROSPECT

Abstract

This Letter reports the first measurement of the ²³⁵U $$\bar{ν}$$_e energy spectrum by PROSPECT, the Precision Reactor Oscillation and Spectrum experiment, operating 7.9 m from the 85 MW_th highly enriched uranium (HEU) High Flux Isotope Reactor. With a surface-based, segmented detector, PROSPECT has observed 31678±304(stat) $$\bar{ν}$$_e-induced inverse beta decays, the largest sample from HEU fission to date, 99% of which are attributed to ²³⁵U. Despite broad agreement, comparison of the Huber ²³⁵U model to the measured spectrum produces a χ²/ndf=51.4/31, driven primarily by deviations in two localized energy regions. The measured ²³⁵U spectrum shape is consistent with a deviation relative to prediction equal in size to that observed at low-enriched uranium power reactors in the $$\bar{ν}$$_e energy region of 5–7 MeV.

Joint Measurement of the ²³⁵U Antineutrino Spectrum by PROSPECT and STEREO

Journal Article Almazán, H. ; Andriamirado, M. ; Balantekin, A. B. ; ... - Physical Review Letters

The PROSPECT and STEREO collaborations present a combined measurement of the pure ²³⁵U antineutrino spectrum, without site specific corrections or detector-dependent effects. The spectral measurements of the two highest precision experiments at research reactors are found to be compatible with χ²/ndf = 24.1/21, allowing a joint unfolding of the prompt energy measurements into antineutrino energy.

PROSPECT-II physics opportunities

Journal Article Andriamirado, M. ; Balantekin, A. B. ; Band, H. R. ; ... - Journal of Physics. G, Nuclear and Particle Physics

We report the precision reactor oscillation and spectrum experiment, PROSPECT, has made world-leading measurements of reactor antineutrinos at short baselines. In its first phase, conducted at the high flux isotope reactor (HFIR) at Oak Ridge National Laboratory, PROSPECT produced some of the strongest limits on eV-scale sterile neutrinos, made a precision measurement of the reactor antineutrino spectrum from ²³⁵U, and demonstrated the observation of reactor antineutrinos in an aboveground detector with good energy resolution and well-controlled backgrounds. The PROSPECT collaboration is now preparing an upgraded detector, PROSPECT-II, to probe yet unexplored parameter space for sterile neutrinos and contribute to amore »« less

Final Measurement of the ²³⁵U Antineutrino Energy Spectrum with the PROSPECT-I Detector at HFIR

Journal Article Andriamirado, M. ; Balantekin, A. B. ; Bass, C. D. ; ... - Physical Review Letters

This Letter reports one of the most precise measurements to date of the antineutrino spectrum from a purely ²³⁵U-fueled reactor, made with the final dataset from the PROSPECT-I detector at the High Flux Isotope Reactor. By extracting information from previously unused detector segments, this analysis effectively doubles the statistics of the previous PROSPECT measurement. Further, the reconstructed energy spectrum is unfolded into antineutrino energy and compared with both the Huber-Mueller model and a spectrum from a commercial reactor burning multiple fuel isotopes. A local excess over the model is observed in the 5–7 MeV energy region. Comparison of the PROSPECTmore »« less

The radioactive source calibration system of the PROSPECT reactor antineutrino detector

Journal Article Ashenfelter, J. ; Balantekin, A. B. ; Band, H. R. ; ... - Nuclear Instruments and Methods in Physics Research. Section A, Accelerators, Spectrometers, Detectors and Associated Equipment

The Precision Reactor Oscillation and Spectrum (PROSPECT) Experiment is a reactor neutrino experiment designed to search for sterile neutrinos with a mass on the order of 1 eV/c2 and to measure the spectrum of electron antineutrinos from a highly-enriched 235U nuclear reactor. The PROSPECT detector consists of an 11 by 14 array of optical segments in 6Li-loaded liquid scintillator at the High Flux Isotope Reactor in Oak Ridge National Laboratory. Antineutrino events are identified via inverse beta decay and read out by photomultiplier tubes located at the ends of each segment. The detector response is characterized using a radioactive sourcemore »« less

Extraction of the ${}^{235}U$ and ${}^{239}{Pu}$ Antineutrino Spectra at Daya Bay

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

This Letter reports the first extraction of individual antineutrino spectra from ^{235}U and ^{239}Pu fission and an improved measurement of the prompt energy spectrum of reactor antineutrinos at Daya Bay. The analysis uses 3.5×10^{6} inverse beta-decay candidates in four near antineutrino detectors in 1958 days. The individual antineutrino spectra of the two dominant isotopes, ^{235}U and ^{239}Pu, are extracted using the evolution of the prompt spectrum as a function of the isotope fission fractions. In the energy window of 4-6 MeV, a 7% (9%) excess of events is observed for the ^{235}U (^{239}Pu) spectrum compared with the normalized Huber-Mueller model prediction. Themore »« less
