Expected Results from Current Reactor Experiments  sin 2 (2  13 ) to 4~5% accuracy within 3 years : → determination of CP phase with accelerator results   m 2 31 directly from reactor neutrinos : ← spectral disappearance of reactor antineutrinos  precision reactor antineutrino spectra : → study reactor anomaly or sterile neutrinos

19. Closing Remarks  A clear disappearance of reactor antineutrinos is observed. The smallest mixing angle of  13 is firmly (to 13~18% precision) measured by the reactor experiments.  Reactor neutrino experiments will make accurate measurements of reactor neutrino fluxes and spectra to search for sterile neutrinos.  Longer baseline (~50 km) reactor experiments is under pursuit to perform high-precision measurements of  12,  m 2 21, &  m 2 31, and to determine the mass hierarchy.  The mixing angle of  13 expects to be measured to ~5% precision within 3 years. This will provide the first glimpse of  CP. if accelerator results are combined.
