Abstract

In the past decades, various nuclear reactor neutrino experiments have\nmeasured a deficit in the flux of antineutrinos coming from the reactor at\nshort reactor-detector distances, when compared to theoretical calculations.\nOne of the experiments designed to investigate this reactor antineutrino\nanomaly is the SoLid experiment. It uses the compact BR2 research reactor from\nthe SCK-CEN in Mol, Belgium, to perform reactor antineutrino flux measurements\nat very short baseline. These proceedings discuss the general detection\nconcepts of the SoLid experiment and its novel detector technology. The\nperformance of the SoLid design is demonstrated with some results of the\nanalysis of the data gathered with the experiment's first large scale test\nmodule, SM1.\n
