Аннотация
New results of measurements of the dependences of the flux of reactor antineutrinos and their spectrum on the distance from the center of the core of the SM-3 reactor (Dimitrovgrad, Russia) in the range from 6 to 12m are presented. Additional measurements were conducted. The volume of accumulated experimental data was increased nearly by a factor of two. A model-independent analysis was performed on the basis of all data in order to determine the oscillation parameters Delta m(14)(2) and sin(2) 2 theta(14). Themethod of a coherent summation of measurement results makes it possible to demonstrate directly the oscillation effect. We observed the oscillation effect at a level of three standard deviations (3.0 sigma) in the vicinities of parameters values of Delta m(14)(2) approximate to 7.25 eV(2) and sin(2) 2 theta(14) approximate to 0.26 +/- 008 (3.0)sigma. Combining the results of the Neutrino-4 experiment with results for the gallium anomaly and for the reactor anomaly, we obtained the following value: sin(2) 2 theta(14) approximate to 0.19 +/- 0.04(4.6 sigma).
