Phenomenological analysis of reactor data for neutrino oscillations

This chapter analyzes reactor data from experiments performed at different distances without using any theoretically calculated reactor neutrino spectra. Finds that the data does not support the no oscillation hypothesis and exhibits distance dependence in the form of depletion of neutrinos with increase in distance from 6.5m to 11.2m. Three solutions with oscillations among two neutrinos jointly fit the data. Concludes that the reactor neutrino spectrum deduced in conjunction with each of these oscillation solutions is compatible with the spectrum obtained by inversion of the measured beta spectrum from fission of 235U
