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

Abstract

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. The significance of discrepancy is 4.0σ for ^{235}U spectral shape compared with the Huber-Mueller model prediction. The shape of the measured inverse beta-decay prompt energy spectrum disagrees with the prediction of the Huber-Mueller model at 5.3σ. In the energy range of 4-6 MeV, a maximal local discrepancy of 6.3σ is observed.

Effects of fission yield data in the calculation of antineutrino spectra for ${}^{235}U (n, fission)$ at thermal and fast neutron energies

Journal Article Sonzogni, A. A. ; McCutchan, E. A. ; Johnson, T. D. ; ... - Physical Review Letters

Fission yields form an integral part of the prediction of antineutrino spectra generated by nuclear reactors, but little attention has been paid to the quality and reliability of the data used in current calculations. Following a critical review of the thermal and fast ENDF/B-VII.1 ²³⁵U fission yields, deficiencies are identified and improved yields are obtained, based on corrections of erroneous yields, consistency between decay and fission yield data, and updated isomeric ratios. These corrected yields are used to calculate antineutrino spectra using the summation method. An anomalous value for the thermal fission yield of ⁸⁶Ge generates an excess of antineutrinosmore »« less

Anomalies in the Charge Yields of Fission Fragments from the ${}^{238}{U (n, f)}$ Reaction

Journal Article Wilson, J. N. ; Lebois, M. ; Qi, L. ; ... - Physical Review Letters

Fast-neutron-induced fission of ²³⁸U at an energy just above the fission threshold is studied with a novel technique which involves the coupling of a high-efficiency γ-ray spectrometer (MINIBALL) to an inverse-kinematics neutron source (LICORNE) to extract charge yields of fission fragments via γ-γ coincidence spectroscopy. Experimental data and fission models are compared and found to be in reasonable agreement for many nuclei; however, significant discrepancies of up to 600% are observed, particularly for isotopes of Sn and Mo. This indicates that these models significantly overestimate the standard 1 fission mode and suggests that spherical shell effects in the nascent fissionmore »« less

Journal Article Hughes, R. O. ; Beausang, C. W. ; Ross, T. J. ; ... - Physical Review C, Nuclear Physics

The Pu²³⁶(n,f), Pu²³⁷(n,f) and Pu²³⁸(n,f) cross sections have been inferred by utilizing the surrogate ratio method. Targets of Pu²³⁹ and U²³⁵ were bombarded with 28.5-MeV protons, and the light ion recoils, as well as fission fragments, were detected using the STARS detector array at the K150 Cyclotron at the Texas A&M cyclotron facility. The (p, tf) reaction on Pu²³⁹ and U²³⁵ targets was used to deduce the σ (Pu²³⁶(n,f))/σ(U²³²(n,f)) ratio, and the Pu²³⁶(n,f) cross section was subsequently determined for En=0.5–7.5 MeV. Similarly, the (p,df) reaction on the same two targets was used to deduce the σ(Pu²³⁷(n,f))/σ(U²³³(n,f)) ratio, and the Pu²³⁷(n,f)more »« less
