Antineutrino Spectrum Modeling and Monte Carlo Generation for SOX — •Mikko Meyer, Daniel Bick, Caren Hagner, and Markus Kaiser — Institut für Experimentalphysik, Universität Hamburg
Several observed anomalies in the neutrino sector could be explained by a fourth (sterile) neutrino with a squared mass difference in the order of 1eV2 compared to the other three standard neutrinos. This hypothesis can be tested with a kCi antineutrino (Ce-144/Pr-144) source deployed near or inside a large low background liquid scintillator detector like Borexino. The SOX project (short baseline neutrino oscillation with Borexino) aims for the detection of sterile neutrinos. The precise knowledge of the antineutrino spectral shape is especially important to predict the number of antineutrino interactions inside Borexino.
This talk will summarize two of the key elements for the upcoming analysis: the antineutrino spectrum modeling and the Monte Carlo generation.
