Evidence of Antineutrinos from Distant Reactors using Pure Water at SNO+
read the original abstract
The SNO+ Collaboration reports the first evidence of reactor antineutrinos in a Cherenkov detector. The nearest nuclear reactors are located 240~km away in Ontario, Canada. This analysis uses events with energies lower than in any previous analysis with a large water Cherenkov detector. Two analytical methods are used to distinguish reactor antineutrinos from background events in 190 days of data and yield consistent evidence for antineutrinos with a combined significance of 3.5$\sigma$.

Neutrino monitoring of explosions for excluding fission yield
Calculations indicate ton- to tens-of-kiloton inverse-beta-decay detectors can set useful fission-yield limits for chemical explosions up to 100 km at the Nevada National Security Site but are unsuitable for longer ra...
