KamLAND, a large underground neutrino detector located in Japan, has
measured neutrino properties by studying electron anti-neutrinos
produced in the decay of fission products in nearby nuclear power
reactors. KamLAND's 180km average distance to the reactors makes it
well-suited to investigate the oscillation parameters in the (1,2)
sector. Several shorter baseline reactor neutrino...

The SNO Collaboration has reanalyzed the data from the first two phases of the experiment -- the pure heavy water and salt phases -- in order to extend the acceptance of neutral- and charged-currents, and elastic scattering events down to an observed kinetic energy of 3.5 MeV.
The combined nature of the analysis, with the reassessment of the systematic uncertainties and backgrounds, has...
