Off-equilibrium corrections have been applied when justified. The err column is the total error published by the collaborations including the error on S tot, the corr column is the part of the error correlated among multiple-baseline experiments, or experiments using the same detector. This table is used to construct the covariance matrix used in Eq. (10). TABLE I. Tabulated results of all 23 experiments. Experiments are categorized into different groups with horizontal lines. Within each group, the corr represent the correlated uncertainties among different experiments. This table is an extension of Table II of Ref. [1]. There are additional correlated uncertainties, since Double Chooz results were anchored to the Bugey-4. See the text for more explanations.

The distances between detector and each reactor core are 750, 890, and 890 m. In calculating the average survival probability P sur, we assume that all three reactor cores have equal power. The result is compared with P 750m sur assuming full power in only the 750 m reactor and P 890m sur assuming full power in the 890 m reactors. The differences are quoted as an additional uncertainty, which is only about 5% of the total reduced experimental uncertainty. There are two reactor cores in the Chooz experiment [3,4]. The distances between the detector and each reactor core are 998 and 1115 m. A similar procedure is applied to calculate the uncertainty for the equal power assumption. The resulting uncertainty is about 6.2% of the total reduced experimental uncertainty. The fractions are assumed to be the same as those from Double Chooz [7]. We also calculated the average P sur by varying these fractions. The differences are negligible. The Double Chooz experiment is conducted at the same location as Chooz. With a single detector, the recent rateonly analyses of the data from delayed neutron capture on gadolinium (n-gd) and delayed neutron capture on hydrogen (n-h) reported the value of sin ¼ 0:170 0:052 [7] NO! and sin ¼ 0:044 0:060 [8], 1 by anchoring to the short-baseline Bugey-4 results [16], respectively. Although the measured flux normalized to the prediction of Ref. [2] has not been reported, we can deduce such ratios using the reported fractions [7], the reported values of sin [7,8], and the Bugey-4 results. The reduced err is dominated by the uncertainties of reported sin , with additional uncertainties coming from the equal power assumption. The reduced corr are calculated from the reduced experimental uncertainty reduced err from Bugey-4. Furthermore, there are additional correlated uncertainties between the n-h and n-gd measurements due to the equal power assumption. The final covariance matrix W using reduced uncertainties is shown in Fig. 1. The 2 function used in this analysis is constructed as follows: Rescaling from Saclay to SaclayHuber ratios: 2 ðr;sin Þ k R exp a,sh = f Rexp k aσs f,k a,s k f k aσsh f,k ¼ ðr ~P surðsin Þ ~RÞ T W 1 ðr ~P surðsin Þ ~RÞ þ ðsin :089Þ 2 0:011 2 : (4) 1 To be consistent with other experiments, we choose the rateonly sin results, which represent simple measures of the disappearance in the total number of events.

9 C. Giunti Determination of the 235 U Reactor Antineutrino Cross Section per Fission AAP Dec /10 Uncertainty due to the uncertainties of the fractions fk a? [see: Djurcic, Detwiler, Piepke, Foster, Miller, Gratta, JPG 36 (2009) ] Difficult to calculate due to the large number of experiments with mostly unknown fractions uncertainties and correlations. The most significant effect on the determination of σ f,235 could come from a non-pure 235 U antineutrino spectrum in research reactor experiments. The SRP collaboration reported that during the data collection period of this experiment, 239 Pu s constituted less than 8% of the total s and 238 U s less than 4%. [PRD 53 (1996) 6054] Considering f235 a = 0.88, f 238 a = 0.04, f 239 a = 0.08, f 241 a = 0 for the research reactor experiments (a = 14,..., 20) we obtained 43 cm2 r 235 = ± σ f,235 = (6.33 ± 0.11) 10 Result compatible with that in previous slide: 43 cm2 r 235 = ± σ f,235 = (6.33 ± 0.08) 10 Therefore, the determination of σ f,235 is robust.
10 C. Giunti Determination of the 235 U Reactor Antineutrino Cross Section per Fission AAP Dec /10 Conclusions If the reactor neutrino anomaly is due to an overestimation of the antineutrino fluxes, it is very likely that at least the calculation of the 235 U flux must be revised. This analysis does not give information on the cause of the theoretical excess for σ f,235. Speculations The theoretical excess for σ f,235 could be due to an unknown imperfection in the 1985 measurement of the 235 U electron spectrum at ILL. [Schreckenbach, Colvin, Gelletly, Von Feilitzsch, PLB 160 (1985) 325] It may be possible that the reactor antineutrino anomaly and the 5 MeV bump are somewhat related and due to the 235 U antineutrino flux. Intriguing indications: From a comparison of the NEOS and Daya Bay data P. Huber found that 235 U is the preferred source of the 5 MeV bump. [arxiv: and previous talk] RENO found that the 5 MeV bump may be correlated with 235 U fuel fraction. [Hyunkwan Seo talk]
