Search for neutrino–antineutrino oscillations with a reactor experiment

The disappearance of reactor antineutrinos in the Double Chooz experiment is used to investigate the possibility of neutrino–antineutrino oscillations arising due to the breakdown of Lorentz invariance. We find no evidence for this phenomenon and set the first limits on 15 coefficients describing ne...

Zusammenfassung:The disappearance of reactor antineutrinos in the Double Chooz experiment is used to investigate the possibility of neutrino–antineutrino oscillations arising due to the breakdown of Lorentz invariance. We find no evidence for this phenomenon and set the first limits on 15 coefficients describing neutrino–antineutrino mixing within the framework of the Standard-Model Extension.
