11 Nuclear Reactors as a Neutrino Source Reactors are intense and pure sources of νe B. Pontecorvo Natl.Res.Council Canada Rep. (1946) 205 Helv.Phys.Acta.Suppl. 3 (1950) 97 Good for systematic studies of neutrinos. 11
12 Enrico Fermi and the Neutrino Enrico Fermi proposes "neutrino" as the name for Pauli's postulated particle. He formulates a quantitative theory of weak particle interactions in which the neutrino plays an integral part. 12

24 Reactors as Antineutrino Source NUSS, July 13, 2009
25 Energy Release in Fission and Self-Fusion at A=120: 8.5 MeV at A=240: 7.6 MeV Fig: Basdevant et al. - only nuclei with 40 < A < 95 are stable against both fission and selffusion - Qfis calculated for symmetric fission 25
26 Fission and Nuclear Deformation variation of energy as a function of distortion EA= fission barrier 26
27 235 U Fission distribution of fission fragments asymmetric fission into lighter and heavier nuclei together these have 98 p and 136 n while fission fragments (X1+X2) have 92 p and 144 n on average 6n have to beta-decay to 6p to reach stable matter νe 27
28 Reactors as Antineutrino Sources νe β - decay of neutron rich fission fragments energy per fission pure source of νe some energy taken away by neutrinos, neutrons etc ~ 200 MeV/fission and 6 νe/fission 3 GWth reactor produces ~6x10 20 νe/sec 28
29 Fission with thermal and fast neutrons 235 U 238 U thermal n U can lead to fission of 236 U n U has higher energy than lowest fissionable state some nuclei require thermal neutrons for fission, others require fast neutrons thermal n U does not lead to fission, only radiative capture fission of 239 U requires addition of neutron with kinetic energy Tn=6-4.8=1.2 MeV Nuclei which are used most easily as fuel (fission rapidly by thermal neutron capture): 233 U, 235 U, 239 Pu reactors which burn 239 Pu and which contains 238 U can produce more Pu than it needs breeder reactor 29
30 Nuclear Reactors reactors are an extended neutrino source: 3-4m diameter, 4m high 30

33 Build-Up of Fission Products & Burn-Up Corrections Gram atomic weight per ton of fuel Fig: Basdevant et al. isotope uncertainties of 4-6% for most 0.1% for 238 U, correlated ~5% isotope uncertainty yields ~0.5% uncertainty in neutrino flux 33
34 Reactor Refueling and Time Variation νe flux from reactor has time variation refueling at Palo Verde reactors and predicted antineutrino rate 3-6 week shutdown every months 1/4-1/3 of fuel assemblies are replaced, remaining fuel repositioned Text 3 reactor cores 34
