摘要：

First results on the energy spectrum and flux of reactor antineutrinos as a function of the distance L from the reactor core, measured in the Neutrino-4 experiment for 6 < L < 12 m, are presented. The flux LaEurodependence fits to the 1/L (2) form with a statistical significance of 10% corresponding to 1.64 sigma, so that the measured spectrum deviates from the 1/L (2) law at a confidence level 90%. The measured energy spectrum deviates from the predicted one at a similar confidence level 90%. That both deviations are best described with oscillation parameters in the same regions of eV(2)and boosts the overall confidence level to 95% (2 sigma). These results suggest that antineutrinos oscillate to a sterile state, but still fall short of reliably establishing the oscillation phenomenon. At present, the possibility of mimicking the oscillation effect by systematic errors cannot be completely excluded.
