  2. Outline • What is RENO? • Detector design • Background estimation • Systematic uncertainty • Sensitivity • Summary

  3. sin22θ13 Determination of q13 using ne from reactors Well understood, isotropic source of electron anti-neutrinos Oscillations observed as a deficit of νe Eν<10 MeV 1.0 Unoscillated flux observed here Probability νe Survival Probability Distance 1200 to 1800 meters

  4. + e γ γ ν e prompt signal p n Delayed signal 30μs γ å ~ γ E 8 MeV g Gd γ γ Detection of neutrino events Inverse Beta Decay En<10 MeV

  5. Schematic Setup of RENO at YongGwang

  6. RENO Detector • Four concentric cylindrical parts • Identical detectors for near and far • Target and gamma catcher are filled with liquid scintillator aiming at detecting inverse beta decay • 342 10-inch PMTs on the surface of buffer • 67 10-inch PMTs on the VETO 15 ton targets (=1.3x1030 protons) total ~450 tons

  7. Muon veto system • Cosmic muon induced neutron backgrounds: • Fast neutrons from rock • Neutrons by untagged muons in VETO • Beta-neutron cascades: muon spallation on 12C  8He and 9Li • 1.5m water VETO works also as neutron and gamma shielding. target g-catcher buffer veto Fast neutron rate < 1/day@ Far detector Background/signal < 1%

  8. Reconstruction of Cosmic Muons Event Number A Veto mounted PMTs Veto (OD) Buffer mounted PMTs B Buffer (ID) First-hit hit time Log scale C D Event Info Number of photoelectrons Ne Radius

  9. Through-going muon reconstruction using RENO-specific muon spectrum • Total number of events generated= 7300 • Through-going muons= 6622 (Xtrue-Xrec)_OD_entrance (Xtrue-Xrec)_ID_entrance angle difference between tracktrue and trackrec angle(degree) (Xtrue-Xrec)_OD_exit (Xtrue-Xrec)_ID_exit

  10. Calculation of gBackground at the RENO Underground • g rate from rock [Hz]

  11. Summary of systematic errors

  12. (rate only analysis) SK Sensitivity 90%CL sensitivity after 3 years of data taking GLoBES group workshop@Heidelberg – Mention’s talk SK

  13. Summary • Systematic analysis for RENO • total systematic error: less than 0.5% as our goal • Most backgrounds are estimated. (< 1% B/S) • sin2(2q13)= 0.02 sensitivity can be reached with 3 year data.
