Studies of Neutrino Oscillations at Reactors

Abstract

Experiments with reactor neutrinos continue to shed light on our understanding of neutrino oscillations. We review some of the early decisive experiments. We then turn to the recent long baseline oscillation experiments at Palo Verde and Chooz which are leading to the conclusion that the atmospheric neutrino anomaly if attributed to oscillations does not involve an appreciable mixing with the $\bar\nu_e$ . The very long baseline KamLAND experiment is now in the planning stages. Its goal is to help explore the large mixing angle solar solution. A review of the $\bar\nu_e + d$ experiment at Bugey and an outline of the $\bar\nu_e$ magnetic moment studies complete this chapter.
