Description
KamLAND is a one-kiloton liquid scintillating detector located in the Kamioka Mine in Kamioka, Japan. KamLAND measurements have shown evidence for neutrino oscillation in reactor anti-neutrinos and indications of geological produced anti-neutrinos. The first phase of KamLAND acquired almost 1500 days of data. An analysis of this full data set with improvements in calibration and the understanding of backgrounds now verify the spectral distortions predicted by neutrino oscillations at greater than 5σ. The details of this analysis will be presented along with the current status and future plans for geo-neutrino and solar neutrino measurements with KamLAND.
