The Double Chooz Experiment presents an indication of reactor electron antineutrino disappearance consistent with neutrino oscillations. A ratio of 0.944 $\pm$ 0.016 (stat) $\pm$ 0.040 (syst) observed to predicted events was obtained in 101 days of running at the Chooz Nuclear Power Plant in France, with two 4.25 GW$_{th}$ reactors. The results were obtained from a single 10 m$^3$ fiducial volume detector located 1050 m from the two reactor cores. The reactor antineutrino flux prediction used the Bugey4 measurement as an anchor point. The deficit can be interpreted as an indication of a non-zero value of the still unmeasured neutrino mixing parameter \sang. Analyzing both the rate of the prompt positrons and their energy spectrum we find \sang = 0.086 $\pm$ 0.041 (stat) $\pm$ 0.030 (syst), or, at 90% CL, 0.015 $<$ \sang $\ <$ 0.16.

  1. Comparisons of triple-differential cross sections for quasielastic-like $\nu_\mu$-hydrocarbon interactions using $\langle E_\nu\rangle \sim$ 3~GeV versus $\sim$ 6~GeV beams in MINERvA

    hep-ex 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 5.0

    MINERvA compares quasielastic-like cross sections at two neutrino beam energies and finds discrepancies pointing to overestimated final state interactions for protons and pions.

  2. Elastic neutrino-electron scattering perspectives at nuclear reactors

    hep-ph 2026-02 conditional novelty 5.0

    Projections show CLOUD and TAO could improve low-energy weak mixing angle measurements to 8-11% via elastic neutrino-electron scattering, with competitive magnetic moment and NSI limits.

  3. Another relation among the neutrino mass-squared differences?

    hep-ph 2026-01 conditional novelty 5.0

    The ratio (√Δm²31 + √Δm²21)/(√Δm²31 − √Δm²21) is claimed to be exactly √2, implying m1 ≈ 0 and absolute neutrino masses near 0.009 eV and 0.050 eV.

  4. A method for energy and radius reconstruction with simulated charge information in a ton-scale liquid scintillator detector like Taishan Antineutrino Observatory

    physics.ins-det 2026-07 conditional novelty 3.0

    A charge-only maximum-likelihood reconstruction using calibration-derived nPE maps achieves ~4 cm vertex resolution and sub-1% relative energy-bias behavior for positrons in a ton-scale liquid scintillator detector.
