17 Event Selection - 1 (neutrino) prompt event 3MeV Etotal 6MeV E2nd 520keV (annihilation gamma) E 1st module must be in inside 16 modules (fiducial cut) Time window: 8-150μsec delayed event 3MeV Etotal 8MeV E3rd/Etotal (E1st/Etotal-0.5)/5 Two or more modules in inside 16 modules deposite the energy of 150keV (software trigger) There is no event with E total > 8MeV within250μs before the delayed event (muon veto) 17
18 Event Selection - 1 (neutrino) prompt event 3MeV Etotal 6MeV E2nd 520keV (annihilation gamma) Detection efficiency: (3.15±0.93)% Predicted anti-neutrino rate: 18.1±6.5 events/day E 1st module must be in inside 16 modules (fiducial cut) Time window: 8-150μsec delayed event 3MeV Etotal 8MeV E3rd/Etotal (E1st/Etotal-0.5)/5 Two or more modules in inside 16 modules deposite the energy of 150keV (software trigger) There is no event with E total > 8MeV within250μs before the delayed event (muon veto) Observed event rate difference: 38.4 ± 8.4 events/day (large?) 18

21 Change of the fast neutron flux Why did the fast neutron flux change? It s not so clear But we speculated that it could be explained by changes in environment. Three water tanks (used for scheduled inspection of the reactor) Water could shield the fast neutrons 2.8m 2.5m Water tank PANDA Reactor building 21
22 Change of the neutrino flux Simultaneous equation to evaluate the change of the neutrino event rate : the contribution of the neutrino rate by selection-1 0 (selection-1) (selection-2) : the contribution of the fast-neutron rate difference by selection-1 : the ratio of the neutrino and neutron detection efficiencies (0.086±0.026 and 1.86±0.68 respectively). x (expected : 18.1±6.5 events/day ) events/day 22
23 Next Step Unexpectedly large change in fastneutron flux It could be subtracted using the second selection. But the subtraction increases the error. Water Shielding? (at the expense of small size and light weight) 8x8=64 prototype Designing new structure which includes shieldings Estimating expected performance of next prototype 23
24 Summary 6x6 prototype of PANDA (PANDA36) was built It was loaded on a van and deployed above ground at Ohi Power Station Unit 2 (3.4GW th ) Fully unmanned operation was demonstrated Detected neutrino event rate was 22.9±11.7 events/day (expected: 18.5±6.5 events/day) Next upgrade to 8x8 is on going. It may have neutron shielding 24
