Several recent experiments have measured a significant deficit in electron antineutrinos at distances of 1-2 km from nuclear reactors. In the 3-neutrino framework, this deficit is attributed to a nonzero mixing angle theta13. Three ongoing experiments, Double Chooz, RENO, and Daya Bay, continue to improve their experimental precision. I will compare these experiments, focusing on common...

Non-Accelerator-Based Neutrino Physics Parallel

It has been demonstrated that properly optimized very-short baseline reactors experiments have the ability to definitively test the reactor antineutrino anomaly by probing reactor oscillations with baseline and position at baselines of order 5 to 10 m. This talk will outline the design of a US-based very short baseline reactor experiment and give a status report on R&D for this experimental effort.
