First Results from KamLAND: Evidence for Reactor Antineutrino Disappearance

Abstract: KamLAND has measured the flux of nu;(e)'s from distant nuclear reactors. We find fewer nu;(e) events than expected from standard assumptions about nu;(e) propagation at the 99.95% C.L. In a 162 ton.yr exposure the ratio of the observed inverse beta-decay events to the expected number without nu;(e) disappearance is 0.611+/-0.085(stat)+/-0.041(syst) for nu;(e) energies >3.4 MeV. In the context of two-flavor neutrino oscillations with CPT invariance, all solutions to the solar neutrino problem except for the "la… Show more

“…In summary, we start with X N 1 = −1 and X N 2 = −2 = −X L 2 , where we have chosen N 2 to couple to L 2 without loss of generality. Given three heavy neutrinos N (1,2,3) , one always ends up with L 1 = 1 or L 3 = 1. It allows a term like L 1 HN 1 , leaving N 1 unstable.…”

“…Neutrino masses observed in oscillation experiments [1][2][3] are so far the only signal for physics beyond the standard model (SM) measured in laboratories. However, while we do know now mass squared differences and mixing angles to a very high precision [4][5][6], there is no experimental data on whether neutrinos are Dirac or Majorana particles.…”
