摘要
We report on the results from a measurement of the anti-neutrino flux and spectrum at a distance of about 800 m from the three reactors of the Pale Verde Nuclear Generating Station using a segmented gadolinium-loaded scintillation detector. We find that the anti-neutrino flux agrees with that predicted in the absence of oscillations, excluding at 90% CL <(<nu>)over bar>(e) - <(<nu>)over bar>(x) oscillations with Deltam(2) > 1.12 x 10(-3) eV(2) for maximal mixing and sin(2) 2 theta > 0.21 for large Deltam(2). Our results support the conclusion that the atmospheric neutrino oscillations observed by Super-Kamiokande do not involve nu (e).
