Abstract:
The “Neutrino-4” experiment for the 100-MW SM-3 reactor has been developed with the aim of testing the reactor antineutrino anomaly at Petersburg Nuclear Physics Institute. The advantages of this reactor for studying the antineutrino anomaly are (i) a low background level and (ii) small dimensions (35 $\times$ 42 $\times$ 42 cm) of the active zone. Operation of a position-sensitive antineutrino detector comprising five working sections and moving so as to cover a region of distances within 6–13 m from the active zone has been simulated by the Monte-Carlo method. The range of experimental sensitivity with respect to the oscillation parameters $\Delta m^2$ and $\sin^2$ 2$\theta$ is determined, which will make it possible to confirm the hypothesis of antineutrino oscillations into a sterile state.
