Reactor Antineutrino Oscillations

    Simplified fit prompt energy spectrum of reactor antineutrino IBD events

Fit prompt energy spectra from Measurement of Reactor Antineutrino Oscillations with 1.46 Kilotonne-Years of Data at SNO+ (Phys. Rev. Lett. 137, 101807 (2026)). Shown above is the fit reactor IBD spectrum with the background-subtracted data, from the fit with the oscillation parameters unconstrained.

Fit prompt energy spectra

The fit spectra from the paper, with the “No Reactor osc.” line removed. The (α, n)-IBD classifier separates (α, n) backgrounds from IBD events.

Simplified spectra

Simplified versions of the unconstrained fit, suitable for thumbnails and small figures. They show the fit reactor IBD spectrum and the background-subtracted data.

Separated: reactor IBD split into, from top to bottom, Bruce, Pickering + Darlington, and the rest of the world. PDF

Partial Fill ROI

Liquid scintillator background characterisation for the neutrinoless double beta decay region of interest (ROI) for the SNO+ partial fill, when the detector was filled with 365 tonnes of liquid scintillator (LAB + 0.6 g/L PPO) on top of 479 tonnes of ultrapure water.

SNO+ Water Phase External Backgrounds

Distribution of external background events from the SNO+ water phase as a function of reconstructed radius and u·r, where u·r is the dot product between the reconstructed event direction and the radial vector.
