Neutrino-induced deuteron disintegration experiment
Cross sections for the disintegration of the deuteron via neutral-current
(NCD) and charged-current (CCD) interactions with reactor antineutrinos are
measured to be 6.08 +/- 0.77 x 10^(-45) cm-sq and 9.83 +/- 2.04 x 10^(-45)
cm-sq per neutrino, respectively, in excellent agreement with current
calculations. Since the experimental NCD value depends upon the CCD value, if
we use the theoretical value for the CCD reaction, we obtain the improved value
of 5.98 +/- 0.54 x 10^(-45) for the NCD cross section. The neutral-current
reaction allows a unique measurement of the isovector-axial vector coupling
constant in the hadronic weak interaction (beta). In the standard model, this
constant is predicted to be exactly 1, independent of the Weinberg angle. We
measure a value of beta^2 = 1.01 +/- 0.16. Using the above improved value for
the NCD cross section, beta^2 becomes 0.99 +/- 0.10.Comment: 22pages, 9 figure

Reactor-based Neutrino Oscillation Experiments
The status of neutrino oscillation searches employing nuclear reactors as
sources is reviewed. This technique, a direct continuation of the experiments
that proved the existence of neutrinos, is today an essential tool in
investigating the indications of oscillations found in studying neutrinos
produced in the sun and in the earth's atmosphere. The low-energy of the
reactor \nuebar makes them an ideal tool to explore oscillations with small
mass differences and relatively large mixing angles.
In the last several years the determination of the reactor anti-neutrino flux
and spectrum has reached a high degree of accuracy. Hence measurements of these
quantities at a given distance L can be readily compared with the expectation
at L = 0, thus testing \nuebar disappearance.
While two experiments, Chooz and Palo Verde, with baselines of about 1 km and
thus sensitive to the neutrino mass differences associated with the atmospheric
neutrino anomaly, have collected data and published results recently, an
ambitious project with a baseline of more than 100 km, Kamland, is preparing to
take data. This ultimate reactor experiment will have a sensitivity sufficient
to explore part of the oscillation phase space relevant to solar neutrino
scenarios. It is the only envisioned experiment with a terrestrial source of
neutrinos capable of addressing the solar neutrino puzzle.Comment: Submitted to Reviews of Modern Physics 34 pages, 39 figure
Solid-State Solutions of TiO-SnO and SrTiO-BaTiO
Thin films of TiO-SnO and SrTiO-BaTiO are deposited by rf sputtering. The crystallographic and optical properties near the band gap absorption are investigated as a function of film composition. Systematic displacement of the fundamental absorption edge shows different behaviour for amorphous and polycrystalline samples. Results are discussed in terms of the influence of the substitution on the local environment of Ti ion and Me-O distances. Application of XANES and EXAFS is proposed for the studies of solid-state solutions
