Abstract

We report on the results from a measurement of the anti-neutrino flux and spectrum at a distance of about 800 m from the three reactors of the Palo Verde Nuclear Generating Station using a segmented gadolinium-loaded scintillation detector. We find that the anti-neutrino flux agrees with that predicted in the absence of oscillations, excluding at 90% CL ν̄_e - ν̄_x oscillations with Δm² > 1.12 × 10^-3 eV² for maximal mixing and sin² 2θ > 0.21 for large Δm². Our results support the conclusion that the atmospheric neutrino oscillations observed by Super-Kamiokande do not involve ν_e.
