摘要:

DANSS是一种高度分段的1~m ${}^3$塑料闪烁体探测器。它的2500个1米长的闪烁体条具有装载Gd的反射盖。DANSS探测器位于莫斯科西北350 km的加里宁核电站3.1~ $\mathrm{GW_{th}}$工业反应堆下。到岩心的距离在10.7~ 12.7 m之间在线变化。反应堆厂房对宇宙背景辐射提供了约50米水当量的屏蔽。DANSS在宇宙背景小于3 $\%$的最近位置每天探测近5000个$\widetildeν_e$。逆β衰变过程用于检测$\widetildeν_e$。假设$4ν$模型(3个活性和1个无菌$ν$),搜索无菌中微子。$Δm_{14}^2,\sin^22θ_{14}$平面中的排除面积使用在不同距离处收集的正电子能谱的比率获得。因此,结果不依赖于反应器$\widetildeν_e$光谱的形状和归一化,也不依赖于检测器效率。结果是基于96.6万个反中微子事件收集在3个距离的反应堆核心。被排除的区域覆盖了大范围的不育中微子参数,最高可达最敏感区域的$\sin^22θ_{14}<0.01$。

英文摘要:

DANSS is a highly segmented 1~m${}^3$ plastic scintillator detector. Its 2500 one meter long scintillator strips have a Gd-loaded reflective cover. The DANSS detector is placed under an industrial 3.1~$\mathrm{GW_{th}}$ reactor of the Kalinin Nuclear Power Plant 350~km NW from Moscow. The distance to the core is varied on-line from 10.7~m to 12.7~m. The reactor building provides about 50~m water-equivalent shielding against the cosmic background. DANSS detects almost 5000 $\widetildeν_e$ per day at the closest position with the cosmic background less than 3$\%$. The inverse beta decay process is used to detect $\widetildeν_e$. Sterile neutrinos are searched for assuming the $4ν$ model (3 active and 1 sterile $ν$). The exclusion area in the $Δm_{14}^2,\sin^22θ_{14}$ plane is obtained using a ratio of positron energy spectra collected at different distances. Therefore results do not depend on the shape and normalization of the reactor $\widetildeν_e$ spectrum, as well as on the detector efficiency. Results are based on 966 thousand antineutrino events collected at 3 distances from the reactor core. The excluded area covers a wide range of the sterile neutrino parameters up to $\sin^22θ_{14}<0.01$ in the most sensitive region.
