★ [U02-15] Anti-Neutrino Directionality with KamLAND

*Benda XU¹ (1.RCNS, Tohoku University)

Keywords:neutrino

KamLAND holds its novelty in the observation of reactor anti-neutrino disappearance. After the great Tohoku earthquake in 2011, almost all nuclear power plants of Japan are closed for safety inspection. This Reactor-Off period offers a unique opportunity to study the directionality of anti-neutrinos from the earth and the remaining nuclear reactors with the liquid scintillator detector.
