Proposal for an Electron Antineutrino Disappearance Search Using High-Rate 8Li Production and Decay

This paper introduces an experimental probe of the sterile neutrino with a novel, high-intensity source of electron antineutrinos from the production and subsequent decay of [superscript 8]Li. When paired with an existing ~1 kton scintillator-based detector, this (E[subscript v])=6.4 MeV source open...
