大亚湾电子反中微子消失测量的改进

The Improved Measurement of Electron-antineutrino Disappearance at Daya Bay

Daniel A. Dwyer

摘要:

大亚湾核电站的实验采用了2.5倍于先前报道的曝光量,改进了中微子混合参数sin ^2(2 θ_13)= 0.089+-0.010(stat)+-0.005(syst)的测量。反应堆反中微子由六个2.9 GW(th)的商业动力反应堆产生,并由六个20吨的目标质量探测器测量相同的设计。在127天的暴露中,总共检测到234,217个反中微子候选者。在距反应堆1648米的通量加权平均距离上,用三个探测器测得的反中微子率为0.944 ± 0.007(stat)± 0.003(syst),相对于两个探测器在470米和一个探测器在576米。探测器设计和地下深度将背景限制为候选信号的5 ± 0.3%(远探测器)和2 ± 0.2%(近探测器)。改进的精度证实了反应堆反中微子消失的初始测量,并继续是最精确的测量θ_13。

英文摘要:

With 2.5x the previously reported exposure, the Daya Bay experiment has improved the measurement of the neutrino mixing parameter sin^2(2theta_13) = 0.089+-0.010(stat)+-0.005(syst). Reactor anti-neutrinos were produced by six 2.9 GW(th) commercial power reactors, and measured by six 20-ton target-mass detectors of identical design. A total of 234,217 anti-neutrino candidates were detected in 127 days of exposure. An anti-neutrino rate of 0.944+-0.007(stat)+-0.003(syst) was measured by three detectors at a flux-weighted average distance of 1648 m from the reactors, relative to two detectors at 470 m and one detector at 576 m. Detector design and depth underground limited the background to 5+-0.3% (far detectors) and 2+-0.2% (near detectors) of the candidate signals. The improved precision confirms the initial measurement of reactor anti-neutrino disappearance, and continues to be the most precise measurement of theta_13.
