Description
The Reactor Experiment for Neutrinos and Exotics (RENE) is a short-baseline reactor neutrino experiment aimed at searching for sterile neutrinos through oscillation measurements at a distance of about 23 m from the Hanbit Nuclear Power Plant in Yeonggwang, Korea. The detector features a 0.5% gadolinium-loaded liquid scintillator target surrounded by a liquid scintillator gamma catcher and is equipped with 20-inch photomultiplier tubes for scintillation light detection.
In this presentation, we introduce the physics goals of the RENE experiment, the inverse beta decay detection principle, and the current status of detector development and Monte Carlo simulation.
