We report a new measurement of the neutron electric dipole moment with the PNPI EDM spectrometer using the ultracold neutron source PF2 at the research reactor of the ILL. Its first results can be interpreted as a limit on the neutron electric dipole moment of |dn| < 5.5 × 10−26 e cm (90% confidence level).

At present, the possible existence of a sterile neutrino having a significantly smaller cross section of interaction with a substance than, for example, electronic antineutrinos from a reactor is being widely discussed. It has been suggested that, due to reactor antineutrino transition into a sterile state, one can observe both the oscillation effect at short distances (5–15 m) from the reactor and a deficiency of the reactor antineutrino flux at large distances. We have investigated the possibility of performing experiments in search for reactor antineutrino oscillations into a sterile state on research reactors. A model experiment has been carried out on a 16-MW WWR-M reactor at the Petersburg Nuclear Physics Institute with a view to implementing a full-scale experiment using a 100-MW SM-3 reactor at the Research Institute of Atomic Reactors (RIAR). Background conditions of these experiments have been studied for both reactors. It is concluded that the implementation of a full-scale Neutrino-4 experiment on the SM-3 reactor at the RIAR is possible.

The “Neutrino-4” experiment for the 100-MW SM-3 reactor has been developed with the aim of testing the reactor antineutrino anomaly at Petersburg Nuclear Physics Institute. The advantages of this reactor for studying the antineutrino anomaly are (i) a low background level and (ii) small dimensions (35 × 42 × 42 cm) of the active zone. Operation of a position-sensitive antineutrino detector comprising five working sections and moving so as to cover a region of distances within 6–13 m from the active zone has been simulated by the Monte-Carlo method. The range of experimental sensitivity with respect to the oscillation parameters Δm2 and sin22θ is determined, which will make it possible to confirm the hypothesis of antineutrino oscillations into a sterile state.

To check the existence of a sterile neutrino, a neutrino laboratory aimed at searching reactor antineutrino oscillations is created at the SM-3 reactor. A prototype of a neutrino detector with a scintillator volume of 400 L is moved at distances 6–11 m from the core of the reactor. Background conditions are measured. It is shown that the cosmic rays background is the main problem in the experiment. The prospects of the search for reactor antineutrino oscillations at short distances are discussed.

This article presents results of measuring the neutron electric dipole moment (EDM) made by the Institut Laue-Langevin (ILL) reactor using the Petersburg Nuclear Physics Institute (PNPI) experimental installation. A double-chamber magnetic resonance spectrometer with prolonged holding of ultracold neutrons has been employed. The results determine the upper limit for EDM neutron quantity equal to |dn| < 5.5 × 10−26e cm at a 90% confidence level.

A laboratory for searching for oscillations of reactor antineutrinos has been created based on the SM-3 reactor in order to approach the problem of the possible existence of a sterile neutrino. The multisection detector prototype with a liquid scintillator volume of 350 L was installed in mid-2015. This detector can move inside the passive shield in a range of 6–11 m from the active core of the reactor. The antineutrino flux was measured for the first time at these short distances from the active core of the reactor by the movable detector. The measurements with the multisection detector prototype demonstrated that it is possible to measure the antineutrino flux from the reactor in the complicated conditions of cosmic background on the Earth’s surface.

First results on the energy spectrum and flux of reactor antineutrinos as a function of the distance L from the reactor core, measured in the Neutrino-4 experiment for 6 < L < 12 m, are presented. The flux L‑dependence fits to the 1/L2 form with a statistical significance of ~10% corresponding to 1.64σ, so that the measured spectrum deviates from the 1/L2 law at a confidence level ~90%. The measured energy spectrum deviates from the predicted one at a similar confidence level ~90%. That both deviations are best described with oscillation parameters in the same regions of
