Description
The Spallation Neutron Source (SNS) and the High Flux Reactor (HFIR) at Oak Ridge National Laboratory are two very powerful neutrino sources that open new physics opportunities. I will describe some recent neutrino physics activities being pursued by members of the Physics Division such as COHERENT and PROSPECT. I will make particular emphasis on the progress of the project PROSPECT (the Precision Reactor Oscillation SPECTrum measurement). A collaboration between US universities and national laboratories has installed the PROSPECT detector near the HFIR. HFIR uses Highly Enriched Uranium which means a pure U-235 antineutrino spectrum.
