Title:
Searching for Reactor Neutrino Oscillations at Braidwood
Abstract:
I will discuss the proposed experiment to search for the neutrino
mixing parameter $\sin22\theta_{13}$ in the electron anti-neutrino flux of the
Braidwood Nuclear reactors. The talk will focus on the ongoing research and
development into the experimental design and analysis methods required to make a
precision measurement of the of the mixing angle at the 0.01 level. The main
issues involve the relative calibration of near and far detectors and the
amelioration of backgrounds.
