# Events (observed/expected) from reactor ${{\overline{\boldsymbol \nu}}_{{e}}}$ experiments. INSPIRE search

The quoted values are the ratios of the measured reactor ${{\overline{\mathit \nu}}_{{e}}}$ event rate at the quoted distances, and the rate expected without oscillations. The expected rate is based on the experimental data for the most significant reactor fuels (${}^{235}\mathrm {U}$, ${}^{239}\mathrm {Pu}$, ${}^{241}\mathrm {Pu}$) and on calculations for ${}^{238}\mathrm {U}$.

A recent re-evaluation of the spectral conversion of electron to ${{\overline{\mathit \nu}}_{{e}}}$ in MUELLER 2011 results in an upward shift of the reactor ${{\overline{\mathit \nu}}_{{e}}}$ spectrum by 3$\%$ and, thus, might require revisions to the ratios listed in this table.

1  ADEY 2019 present a re-analysis of 1230 days of Daya Bay near detector data with reduced systematic uncertainties on the neutron detection efficiency. Note that ADEY 2019 report the measured to predicted antineutrino ratio using the reactor model of MUELLER 2011 (Huber-Mueller model). The ratio using the older ILL-Vogel model is $1.001$ $\pm0.015$ $\pm0.027$.
2  AN 2016 use 217 days of data (338k events) to determine the neutrino flux ratio relative to the prediction of Mueller-Huber and ILL-Vogel models (see AN 2016 for details). The reported flux ratios were corrected for ${{\mathit \theta}_{{13}}}$ oscillation effect. The flux measurement is consistent with results from previous short-baseline reactor experiments. The measured inverse beta decay yield is ($1.55$ $\pm0.04$) $\times 10^{-18}$ cm${}^{2}$/(GW day) or $\sigma _{f}$ = ($5.92$ $\pm0.14$) $\times 10^{-43}$ cm${}^{2}$/fission. About 4$\sigma$ excess of events was observed in the $4 - 6$ MeV prompt energy region.
3  DENIZ 2010 observe reactor ${{\overline{\mathit \nu}}_{{e}}}{{\mathit e}}$ scattering with recoil kinetic energies $3 - 8$ MeV using CsI(Tl) detectors. The observed rate is consistent with the Standard Model prediction, leading to a constraint on sin$^2{{\mathit \theta}_{{W}}}$ = $0.251$ $\pm0.031$(stat)$\pm0.024$(sys).
4  Updated result of KamLAND, including the data used in EGUCHI 2003 . Note that the survival probabilities for different periods are not directly comparable because the effective baseline varies with power output of the reactor sources involved, and there were large variations in the reactor power production in Japan in 2003.
5  EGUCHI 2003 observe reactor neutrino disappearance at $\sim{}180~$km baseline to various Japanese nuclear power reactors.
6  BOEHM 2001 search for neutrino oscillations at $0.75$ and $0.89~$km distance from the Palo Verde reactors.
7  APOLLONIO 1999 , APOLLONIO 1998 search for neutrino oscillations at $1.1~$km fixed distance from Chooz reactors. They use ${{\overline{\mathit \nu}}_{{e}}}$ ${{\mathit p}}$ $\rightarrow$ ${{\mathit e}^{+}}{{\mathit n}}$ in Gd-loaded scintillator target. APOLLONIO 1999 supersedes APOLLONIO 1998 . See also APOLLONIO 2003 for detailed description.
8  GREENWOOD 1996 search for neutrino oscillations at 18$~$m and 24$~$m from the reactor at Savannah River.
9  DECLAIS 1994 result based on integral measurement of neutrons only. Result is ratio of measured cross section to that expected in standard $\mathit V-\mathit A$ theory. Replaced by ACHKAR 1995 .
10  KWON 1981 represents an analysis of a larger set of data from the same experiment as BOEHM 1980 .
