Abstract
The KamLAND experiment has determined a precise value for the neutrino oscillation parameter Δm2 21 and stringent constraints on θ12. The exposure to nuclear reactor antineutrinos is increased almost fourfold over previous results to 2:44 x 10 32 proton yr due to longer livetime and an enlarged fiducial volume. An undistorted reactor ∇e energy spectrum is now rejected at >5σ. Analysis of the reactor spectrum above the inverse beta decay energy threshold, and including geoneutrinos, gives a best fit at Δm2 21= 7.58+0.14-0.13(stat)+0.15-0.15(syst)x10-5 eV2 and tan 2θ 2=0.56+0.10-0.07(stat)+0.10-0.06(syst). Local Δχ2 minima at higher and lower Δm2 21 are disfavored at >4σ. Combining with solar neutrino data, we obtain Δm2 21 7.59+0.21-0.21 X 10-5 eV2 and tan2θ12=0.47+0.06-0.05.
