Neutrino Physics with Professor Maria Concepcion Gonzalez-Garcia The KamLAND experiment measures the antineutrino flux from a set of nuclear reactors in Japan with the aim of studying neutrino properties over long distances. With this measurement it has been able to prove beyond doubt that neutrinos have mass and oscillate. This is one of the most important results of the last years in particle physics. An important piece of information for the interpretation of the KamLAND results is to know the exact antineutrino flux produced by each reactor as a function of time. Using the public information provided by the different electric power companies one can reconstruct the flux expected at the KamLAND detector from each of the reactors as a function of time. The project proposed is to search and store on regular time periods (every few days) the information on the power output of the different reactors (the web pages to be accessed, and the specific information to be extracted will be explained to the student). This information will be fed to a computer code which transforms it into the corresponding antineutrino flux. The final goal is to generate a plot of the dependence of the fluxes as a funcion of time along the duration of the project.
