Review of Reactor Antineutrino Experiments

As discussed elsewhere, the measurement of a non-zero value for $θ_{13}$ would open up a wide range of possibilities to explore CP-violation and the mass hierarchy. Experimental methods to measure currently the unknown mixing angle $θ_{13}$ include accelerator searches for the $ν_{e}$ appearance and precise measurements of reactor antineutrino disappearance. The reactor antineutrino experiments are designed to search for a non-vanishing mixing angle $θ_{13}$ with unprecedented sensitivity. This document describes current reactor antineutrino experiments and synergy between accelerator searches for the $ν_{e}$ appearance and precise measurements of reactor antineutrino disappearance.
