Reactor Antineutrinos Signal all over the world
We present an updated estimate of reactor antineutrino signal all over the
world, with particular attention to the sites proposed for existing and future
geo-neutrino experiment. In our calculation we take into account the most
updated data on Thermal Power for each nuclear plant, on reactor antineutrino
spectra and on three neutrino oscillation mechanism.Comment: 4 pages including 1 figur
Regional study of the Archean to Proterozoic crust at the Sudbury Neutrino Observatory (SNO+), Ontario: Predicting the geoneutrino flux
The SNO+ detector, a new kiloton scale liquid scintillator detector capable
of recording geoneutrino events, will define the strength of the Earth
radiogenic heat. A detailed 3-D model of the regional crust, centered at SNO+
and based on compiled geological, geophysical and geochemical information, was
used to characterize the physical and chemical attributes of crust and assign
uncertainties to its structure. Monte Carlo simulations were used to predict
the U and Th abundances and uncertainties in crustal lithologies and to model
the regional crustal geoneutrino signal originating from the at SNO+
Análise econômica de lâminas de água e doses de nitrogênio, para cultura de milho, utilizando o modelo ceres-maize.
Para a simulacao dos dados necessarios nas analises do presente trabalho, utilizou-se o modelo CERES-MAIZE, que esta inserido no pacote DSSAT 3.0. Nas simulacoes, realizadas para o municipio de Janauba - MG, utilizou-se o cultivar de milho BR-201, desenvolvido na EMBRAPA Milho e Sorgo, que ocupa entre 5 a 7% da area de plantio da cultura no Brasil. Foram simulados os dados de produtividade do cultivar BR-201, em tres epocas de plantio (15.05, 15.10 e 15.11), com ou sem irrigacao, com as seguintes laminas d'agua 4,8,12,16,20,24,30 e 36mm, aplicadas em um turno de rega de 7 dias. As laminas de agua foram combinadas com as seguintes doses de nitrogenio 0, 30, 60, 90, 120, 150, 180 e 210 kg/ha 4. Os dados foram simulados utilizando-se dados climaticos de 18 anos, de 1977 a 1995. Verifica-se que o plantio de maio proporcionou maior retorno economico, indicando grande potencialidade do modelo para estudos de analise de producao. Recomendam-se simulacoes com outros cultivares mais adaptados ao plantio irrigado
Geoneutrinos and reactor antineutrinos at SNO+
In the heart of the Creighton Mine near Sudbury (Canada), the SNO+ detector
is foreseen to observe almost in equal proportion electron antineutrinos
produced by U and Th in the Earth and by nuclear reactors. SNO+ will be the
first long baseline experiment to measure a reactor signal dominated by CANDU
cores (55\% of the total reactor signal), which generally burn natural
uranium. Approximately 18\% of the total geoneutrino signal is generated by the
U and Th present in the rocks of the Huronian Supergroup-Sudbury Basin: the
60\% uncertainty on the signal produced by this lithologic unit plays a crucial
role on the discrimination power on the mantle signal as well as on the
geoneutrino spectral shape reconstruction, which can in principle provide a
direct measurement of the Th/U ratio in the Earth.Comment: 7 pages including 2 figures and 1 table, in XIV International
