Abstract:
The SNO+ Collaboration reports new results on reactor antineutrino oscillations using data acquired from May 2022 through July 2025. The spectral analysis of a flux dominated by nuclear reactors at 240, 340, and 350 km yields the mass-squared difference Δm_{21}^{2}=(7.91_{-0.25}^{+0.22})×10^{-5} eV^{2}. This result is compatible with and approaches the precision of the only other long-baseline reactor antineutrino measurement, by KamLAND. Combining these measurements, along with those from solar neutrino experiments, the global values of the neutrino mixing parameters become Δm_{21}^{2}=(7.59±0.17)×10^{-5} eV^{2} and sin^{2}θ_{12}=0.310±0.012. The analysis of geoneutrinos at SNO+ is also improved, with a measured signal of 48_{-12}^{+14} TNU.

In spin–lattice or longitudinal relaxation, the excited spins exchange energy with the surrounding lattice as they return to the lower energy level. Among several mechanisms that contribute to spin–lattice relaxation, magnetic dipolar interactions are significant. Here, the excited nucleus transfers energy to a nearby...
