Search for a sterile neutrino using a short-baseline oscillation experiment at the BR2 research reactor

The SoLid collaboration, involving the universities of Gent and Antwerpen, will

construct a short baseline reactor neutrino detector at the BR2 reactor of the SCK in

Mol. The objective of this project is to participate in the construction of the detector, the

measurements at the BR2 reactor, and the analysis of the experiment. Ultimately this

research will prove or disprove the existence a new kind of neutrino, the sterile

neutrino.
