Project description
The SoLid collaboration, involving the universities of Gent and Antwerpen, will
construct a short baseline reactor neutrino detector at the BR2 reactor of the SCK in
Mol. The objective of this project is to participate in the construction of the detector, the
measurements at the BR2 reactor, and the analysis of the experiment. Ultimately this
research will prove or disprove the existence a new kind of neutrino, the sterile
neutrino.
