New Results from RENO and The 5 MeV Excess

Understand

One of the main goals of RENO (Reactor Experiment for Neutrino Oscillation) is to measure the smallest neutrino mixing angle {\theta}13 using reactor neutrinos in Korea.

• RENO is the first reactor experiment taking data with two identical detectors in different locations (Near and Far), which is critical to reduce systematic uncertainty in reactor neutrino flux.
• Our data taking has been almost continuous since Aug.
• 2011 and we have collected about 434,000 (54,000) electron anti-neutrinos in the Near (Far) detector by 2013.
