Do you have a particular reason to expect a relation?

Hello

I think so: the models of nuclear reactors need beta-feeding as input, but there are nuclei which have still not been measured without Pandemonium effect.

If they are using info affected by Pandemonium effect in order to model the nuclear reactor, the expected energy distribution of beta (and therefore, antineutrino) could be affected too, and the comparison between the expected and measured energy spectrum could be explained by a incomplete (wrong) input data for the model of nuclear reactor.

I have no access to the original article, so I ask here about it :)

The pandemonium effect is relevant for the gamma spectra. The beta energies are much easier to measure, and you can get the neutrino energies based on that spectrum.
Also, the pandemonium effect would go in the wrong direction, suggesting more high-energetic neutrinos.

Some mismodeling of the neutrino emission spectra can certainly be a reason for the discrepancy. It is not anything peak-like, just the spectrum is a bit different.

You're right, sorry for (wasting) your time.

1. What is the Pandemonium effect?

The Pandemonium effect is a theoretical concept in particle physics that proposes the existence of a new type of interaction between neutrinos and matter. This interaction would result in deviations from the expected behavior of neutrinos, potentially explaining anomalies observed in their behavior.

2. How do neutrino anomalies relate to the Pandemonium effect?

Neutrino anomalies are unexpected or unexplained behaviors of neutrinos that deviate from predictions based on the Standard Model of particle physics. The Pandemonium effect is one possible explanation for these anomalies, but it is still a hypothetical concept and has not been proven to exist.

3. What evidence supports the existence of the Pandemonium effect?

Currently, there is no direct evidence for the existence of the Pandemonium effect. However, some scientists have proposed theoretical models and simulations that show how the Pandemonium effect could potentially explain neutrino anomalies.

4. Are there any experiments being conducted to test the Pandemonium effect?

There are ongoing experiments and studies aimed at testing the Pandemonium effect. These include the MINOS, T2K, and NOvA experiments, which are all looking for evidence of the Pandemonium effect by studying neutrino oscillations.

5. What are the implications of the Pandemonium effect being proven?

If the Pandemonium effect is proven to exist, it would have significant implications for our understanding of particle physics and the behavior of neutrinos. It could also potentially lead to the development of new technologies and applications based on this new type of interaction between neutrinos and matter.
