Uncertainties in the anti-neutrino production at nuclear reactors
Uncertainties in the anti-neutrino production at nuclear reactors
Anti-neutrino emission rates from nuclear reactors are determined from thermal power measurements and fission rate calculations. The uncertainties in these quantities for commercial power plants and their impact on the calculated interaction rates in detectors are examined. We discuss reactor-to-reactor correlations between the leading uncertainties, and their relevance to reactor …
