Conference Paper Description

Reactor neutrino experiments have played a key role in the history of neutrino physics. From the first observation of the free antineutrino by Reines and Cowan to the observation of disappearance at KamLAND, reactors have been an invaluable tool in the study of neutrinos and helped shape our understanding of neutrinos and neutrino oscillation. Recent data from KamLAND unambiguously reveal the signature of neutrino oscillation in the observed spectrum and determine the oscillation parameter Δm to 2.8%. A suite of next-generation reactor experiments are now under construction to determine the yet unknown neutrino mixing angle θ with a sensitivity of sin2θ < 0.01. Stringent control of detector systematics and minimizing backgrounds will be key to the continued success of reactor neutrino oscillation experiments.
