Predicting Reactor Antineutrino Emissions Using New Precision Beta Spectroscopy

Abstract

A conceptual experimental method for providing a new measurement of the underlying beta decay spectra from fission products is presented. The goal is to provide additional information related to the prediction of the antineutrino emission spectra from fission reactors and assist evaluation of the reactor neutrino anomaly.
