The Argonne Study on measuring θ13 with a reactor
experiment
This page Last Updated December 14, 2006
Argonne is part of a multi-institution effort to plan and propose a
two (or more) detector experiment at a nuclear reactor site to measure
θ13.
White Paper
The international group is working on the development of a white paper
which details our best knowledge at this time. A first draft has been completed
and we expect to release the final document by the end of 2003. The white
paper development page can be found here.
