Description
The RENO (Reactor Experiment for Neutrino Oscillation) and RENE (Reactor Experiment for Neutrino and Exotics) experiments are key components of Korea’s reactor neutrino research program. RENO has successfully measured the neutrino mixing angle $\theta_{13}$ with high precision using two identical detectors located at near and far distances from a nuclear power plant. It continues to provide valuable data for long-term oscillation studies. RENE is a proposed short-baseline reactor neutrino experiment designed to test the existence of sterile neutrinos, motivated by anomalies observed in the joint analysis of RENO and NEOS data. It will use a compact detector placed close to a reactor core to search for oscillation signatures in the few-meter baseline range. This poster presents a general introduction to the physics goals, detector designs, and current status of the RENO and RENE experiments, providing context for their roles in exploring both established and exotic neutrino properties.
