SUMMARY:Improved Short-Baseline Neutrino Oscillation Search and Energy Spec
	trum Measurement with the PROSPECT Experiment at HFIR 
DESCRIPTION:Featuring Bryce Littlejohn \, IIT\nHosted by: David Sperka\n\nP
	art of the HEE Seminar Series.\n\nModels of antineutrino production in nucl
	ear reactors predict absolute detection rates and energy spectra at odds wi
	th the existing body of direct reactor antineutrino measurements.  If these
	 discrepancies are taken seriously\, then they must be indicative of a misu
	nderstanding of neutrino production in nuclear reactor cores and/or the fun
	damental properties of neutrinos.  A variety of reactor neutrino experiment
	s at short (100m) reactor-detector distances have provided new insights int
	o these two explanations for existing flux and spectrum anomalies.  This ta
	lk will provide an overview of these developments while highlighting recent
	 measurements performed by PROSPECT\, which has operated a 4 ton segmented 
	lithium-doped liquid scintillator detector covering baseline ranges of ~7-1
	1 meters from the U235-enriched High Flux Isotope Reactor at Oak Ridge Nati
	onal Laboratory.   This experiment has demonstrated the feasibility of prec
	ision on-surface reactor antineutrino detection\, advanced understanding of
	 antineutrino production by the primary fission isotope U235\, and placed w
	orld-leading limits on sterile neutrino oscillations.  \n\nZoom:\nhttps://b
