The new KamLAND data [ 1 ] confirm the expected deficit of ν e due to oscillations with parameters in the LMA region . More importantly , the new data show the expected distortion of the energy spectrum . In their new paper [ 1 ] , the KamLAND collaboration report a goodness - of - fit test for a scaled no - oscillation energy spectrum with the normalization fitted to the data . They find a goodness - of - fit of only 0.1 % . We confirm that the hypothesis of an undistorted scaled spectrum can fit the data with less than 0.2 % probability .
