The first observation of effect of oscillation in Neutrino-4 experiment on search for sterile neutrino (continuation)

Understand

We present the results of the Neutrino-4 experiment on search for a sterile neutrino.

• The experiment has been carried out on the SM-3 reactor having a compact active zone of $42\times42\times35\textrm{cm}^3$ and operating on the highly enriched uranium-235 at 90 MW thermal power.
• We report the results of the Neutrino-4 experiment of measurements of reactor antineutrino flux and spectrum dependence on the distance in the range 6-12 meters from the center of the reactor core.
• Using the measured spectrum and the distance dependence of antineutrino flux, we performed the model independent analysis of restrictions on the oscillation parameters $\Delta m^2_{14}$ and $\sin^2 2\theta_{14}$.
