Prediction of the reactor antineutrino flux for the Double Chooz experiment
… applies this code to make a prediction for the antineutrino flux from the Chooz BI and B2 reactors. Data from the destructive assay of rods from the Takahama-3 reactor and from the SONGS antineutrino detector are used for comparisons. The resulting prediction from the tuned DRAGON code is then …

Searching for Reactor Antineutrino Flavor Oscillations with the Double Chooz Far Detector
… dissertation presents results from a search for reactor antineutrinoₑ flavor oscillations using the Double Chooz Far Detector. The search was performed by observing the rate and energy spectrum of antineutrinoₑ interacting via Inverse Beta Decay in a Gd-doped liquid scintillator detector, and …

Neutron Measurements and Reactor Antineutrino Search with the SNO+ Detector in the Water Phase
… \bar{\nu}/(\textrm{cm}^2\cdot\textrm{s})$, on the reactor antineutrino flux for SNO+ is obtained using a maximum likelihood approach. The limit is about a factor of 9 higher than the expected signal in SNO+, which can be calculated using available reactor output power data.

Observation of Reactor Antineutrinos with the CHANDLER Detector
… we search for short baseline oscillations using antineutrinos from nuclear reactors. We have developed a reactor antineutrino detection technology based on solid plastic scintillator, called CHANDLER, which could be used to search for short baseline reactor antineutrino oscillations. An 80 kg …

Corrections to and Applications of the Antineutrino Spectrum Generated by Nuclear Reactors
In this work, the antineutrino spectrum as specifically generated by nuclear reactors is studied. The topics covered include corrections and higher-order effects in reactor antineutrino experiments, one of which is covered in Ref. [1] and another contributes to Ref. [2]. In addition, a practical …

Detection of Antineutrinos at the North Anna Nuclear Generating Station
Nuclear reactors have played an essential role in developing our current understanding of neutrinos. The precision measurement of these high-flux, pure-flavor and controllable artificial neutrino sources shed lights on a wide range of fundamental questions in physics. Specifically, the Reactor …

A NEW MEASUREMENT OF THE NEUTRON MULTIPLICITY EMITTED IN 252Cf SPONTANEOUS FISSION
The Precision Reactor Oscillation and SPECTrum (PROSPECT) experiment was designed to probe short baseline oscillations of electron antineutrinos in search of eV-scale sterile neutrinos and precisely measure the 235U reactor antineutrino spectrum from the High Flux Isotope Reactor (HFIR) at Oak …

Measurement of neutrino mixing angle Θ13 in the Daya Bay Reactor Neutrino Experiment
… measuring solar, atmospheric, accelerator and reactor neutrinos. The phenomenon can be described by three mixing angles and three phases. The values of two mixing angles $\theta_{12}$ and $\theta_{23}$ have been pinned down while the value of $\theta_{13}$ was poorly known. The Daya Bay Reactor …

Measurement of sin² 2[theta]₁₃ using delayed neutron capture on hydrogen in Double CHOOZ
Double CHOOZ is a reactor antineutrino experiment built to measure [theta]13. The experiment is designed to use two detectors at different baselines (400 m and 1 km) to precisely measure the disappearance of ve from the Chooz reactor cores in Ardenne, France. Our inverse beta decay (IBD) signal is …

Reactor Antineutrinos In The Sno+ Water Phase And Detector R&d For Large-Scale Neutrino Detectors
… SNO+ experiment. First, I describe a search for reactor antineutrino interactions in the SNO+ water-filled detector using a 190.3 day dataset. Reactor neutrinos have never before been detected in a water Cherenkov detector, primarily due to the difficulty in detecting the low energy signal from …

Precision Neutrino Oscillations: Important Considerations for Experiments
… that uncertainties in the fine structure of the reactor neutrino spectrum could be vitally important to JUNO, a reactor neutrino experiment being built in China, so a reference spectrum with comparable energy resolution to JUNO is needed in order to alleviate this uncertainty. In addition, we …

Development of a Level-1 Trigger and Timing System for the Double Chooz neutrino experiment
… experiments (e.g. MINOS, T2K, Nova) or reactor anti-neutrino disappearance experiments (e.g. Daya Bay, RENO or Double Chooz). In order to measure or constrain theta13 with the Double Chooz experiment the overall systematic errors have to be controlled at the one-percent or sub-percent …
