We present a search for signatures of neutrino mixing of electron anti-neutrinos with additional hypothetical sterile neutrino flavors using the Double Chooz experiment. The search is based on data from 5 years of operation of Double Chooz, including 2 years in the two-detector configuration. The analysis is based on a profile likelihood, i.e. comparing the data to the model prediction of disappearance in a data-to-data comparison of the two respective detectors. The analysis is optimized for a model of three active and one sterile neutrino. It is sensitive in the typical mass range $5 cdot 10^{-3} $ eV$^2 lesssim Delta m^2_{41} lesssim 3cdot 10^{-1} $ eV$^2$ for mixing angles down to $sin^2 2theta_{14} gtrsim 0.02$. No significant disappearance additionally to the conventional disappearance related to $theta_{13} $ is observed and correspondingly exclusion bounds on the sterile mixing parameter $theta_{14} $ as function of $ Delta m^2_{41} $ are obtained.
DANSS is a highly segmented 1~m${}^3$ plastic scintillator detector. Its 2500 one meter long scintillator strips have a Gd-loaded reflective cover. The DANSS detector is placed under an industrial 3.1~$mathrm{GW_{th}}$ reactor of the Kalinin Nuclear
In the recent years, major milestones in neutrino physics were accomplished at nuclear reactors: the smallest neutrino mixing angle $theta_{13}$ was determined with high precision and the emitted antineutrino spectrum was measured at unprecedented re
The STEREO experiment is designed to test the hypothesis of light sterile neutrinos being the cause of the Reactor Antineutrino Anomaly. It measures the antineutrino energy spectrum from the compact core of the ILL research reactor in six identical d
A study on cosmic muons has been performed for the two identical near and far neutrino detectors of the Double Chooz experiment, placed at $sim$120 and $sim$300 m.w.e. underground respectively, including the corresponding simulations using the MUSIC
A $theta_{13}$ oscillation analysis based on the observed antineutrino rates at the Double Chooz far and near detectors for different reactor power conditions is presented. This approach provides a so far unique simultaneous determination of $theta_{
