Deuteron disintegration by reactor antineutrinos
The existence of a semi-weak interaction involving the electron neutrino and the nucleons, which has received a convincing confirmation through a good agreement between the theoretical and experimental results concerning all observable processes with solar neutrinos, should also inevitably manifest itself in the deuteron disintegration by reactor antineutrinos neutral currents. In this paper, the analytical and numerical characteristics of such a disintegration are presented. An analysis of a number of methodological features is given in parallel with the results of two accomplished reactor experiments with heavy water as compared to the appropriate elements of the SNO experiment on the deuteron disintegration by solar neutrinos.
