The side-panels show the χ 2 -profiles for KamLAND (dashed) and solar experiments (dotted) individually, as well as the combination of the two (solid). we also expect geo-neutrinos. We observe 1609 events. Figure 1 shows the prompt energy spectrum of selected electron anti-neutrino events and the fitted backgrounds. The unbinned data is assessed with a maximum likelihood fit to two-flavor neutrino oscillation (with θ 13 = 0), simultaneously fitting the geo-neutrino contribution. The method incorporates the absolute time of the event to account for time variations in the reactor flux and includes Earth-matter oscillation effects. The best-fit is shown in Fig. 1. The joint confidence intervals give m 2 21 = (stat) (syst) 10 5 ev 2 and tan 2 θ 12 = (syst) for tan2 θ 12 <1.

D67 (2003) Δm 2 atm Δm 2 sol Minakata et al., hep-ph/ Bandyopadhyay et al., hep-ph/ GW kt y exposure at km requires kt-sized detectors ~4% systematic error from near detector sin 2 (θ 12 ) measured with ~2% uncertainty
31 Reactor Neutrino Physics at Intermediate Baselines θ 13 and Mass Hierarchy? High-frequency amplitude in energy spectrum is θ 13 In L/E plot, a purely sinusoidal component Invites the use of Fourier Transform for analysis intermediate baseline ~ 60km good energy resolution required Fourier Power ev 2 peak due to nonzero θ 13 Learned et al., hep-ex/ Zhan et al size of peak proportional to θ 13 asymmetry encodes hierarchy
32 Reactor Neutrino Physics at Intermediate Baselines θ 13 and Mass Hierarchy? - analysis with Fourier transforms (sine, cosine) and Fourier power spectrum - mass hierarchy can be discriminated for sin 2 (2θ13) > Zhan et al
33 Intermediate/Long Baselines Longer baselines for reactor antineutrino flux measurements require - large νe source - large detectors - deep experimental site Ocean-based detectors: Adjustable baseline Ability to avoid reactor background in the geoneutrino studies Unique sensitivity to mantle geo-neutrinos Additional physics measurements achievable to higher precision, due to large size > 10kt LS detector Hanohano project
34 Summary and Conclusions Non-accelerator experiments were key in discovering neutrino mass and oscillations in the past decade ( ). Reactor experiments have made key contributions: KamLAND discovered reactor νe oscillation and has made most precise measurement of Δm 2 12 to < 3% Reactor experiments RENO, Double-CHOOZ, Daya Bay will study θ 13 during , with Daya Bay reaching sin 2 2θ 13 <0.01. The measurement of sin 2 2θ13 > 0.01 is a prerequisite for the search of leptonic CPV. Future intermediate/long-baseline reactor antineutrino experiments may be used for a precision measurement of θ12 (using baseline from Δm 2 12= Δm 2 sol). Determination of mass hierarchy with kt-size detectors is being explored.
