The Solar Neutrino Problem
Pre-1950: p-p chain4p 4He + 2e+ + 2e
Chlorine ExperimentHomestake Mine
1968: Ray Davis pioneers the radiochemical experiment, Chlorine, and observes 1/3 of predicted solar neutrino flux.
1969: Pontecorvo and Gribov propose that neutrinos oscillate but…
…difficulty of Chlorine experiment and uncertainties in solar model lead to speculation that either one or both were wrong.

Neutrino Oscillations
Like quarks, neutrino flavor and mass eigenstates are not the same
Simplified expression for two flavor oscillations in a vacuum:
P(ll’) = sin22 sin2(1.27m2(eV2)L(m)/E (MeV))

oscillations imply neutrinos have mass!

Why a Reactor Neutrino Experiment?
• Disappearance Experiment• Detect anti neutrino via inverse beta-decay• Energy range ~few MeV• Reactor anti-neutrino experiments performed since 1950’s
No matter effectsWell-understood man-made sourceAnti-neutrino vs neutrino oscillations

What Were Improvements?
• More Statistics: 515.1 live days compared to 145.1 live days.
• 13C(,n)16O background discovered and included in analysis
• Better Optimized Cuts (fiducial volume increased from 5m to 5.5m)
• Addition of 20” tubes (improved energy resolution from 7%/E(MeV) to 6%/E(MeV))
• Reactor off-time allowed for study of correlation of signal with reactor flux.
Second results includes re-analysis of same data-sample used in first

KamLAND MC Laundry List
Verification:o light propagation model and optical parameterso Detailed geometry (photocathode, calibration devices, detector itself)o Nonlinear response of scintillatoro Shadowing effects
Detailed modeling of “electronic effects”
Most code has been written, but not much detailed comparison w/ data until recently.

3 Decade Long Mystery
1990’s: Sage and Gallex radiochemical experiments confirm deficit in solar neutrino flux
Over next few decades:• Solar Model refined and x-checked with experimental observations• Chlorine systematics x-checked, no significant errors discovered.
1989: Kamiokande, real-time water Cherenkov detector, also observes deficit of solar neutrinos.
1988-1990: Kamiokande and IMB see hints of atmospheric neutrino deficits.
1998: SuperKamiokande announces that neutrinos have mass based on evidence for oscillations in atmospheric neutrinos
