Scientific paper

The study of the electronic antineutrinos (ṽe) of low energy (<~ 10 MeV) is an active and multidisciplinary field. The first generation of large underground detectors, awaiting bursts of ṽe following a supernova explosion in our Galaxy, is now operating1,2. When placed near nuclear reactors, ṽe detectors can be used to study neutrino oscillations3,4. Geophysicists are also concerned because the Earth is continuously emitting ṽe (ref. 5). Here, I calculate the ṽe flux due to all the nuclear power stations and show that this background must be taken into consideration when studying the detection of low-energy ṽe.
