"First results from KamLAND: Evidence
for reactor antineutrino disappearance,"
by K. Eguchi and 97 others (KamLAND Collaboration), Physical Review Letters,
90(2): 1802, 17 January 2003.

Abstract: "KamLAND has measured
the flux of [nu over-bar e]'s from distant nuclear reactors. We find fewer
[nu over-bar e] events than expected from standard assumptions about [nu
over-bar e] propagation at the 99.95% C.L. In a 162 ton.yr exposure the ratio
of the observed inverse beta-decay events to the expected number without [Nu
over-bar e] disappearance is 0.611+/-0.085(stat)+/-0.041(syst) for [nu
over-bar e] energies >3.4 MeV. In the context of two-flavor neutrino
oscillations with CPT invariance, all solutions to the solar neutrino problem
except for the 'large mixing angle' region are excluded."
This Physical Review Letters report
from January 2003 was cited 50 times in current journal articles
indexed
by Thomson ISI during September-October 2003. No other physics paper, aside
from reviews, attracted a greater
number of citations during that two-month period. And, even allowing for its
early start in January, the paper's record of 100+ citations in its first year
of publication is a notable achievement--particularly for the physical
sciences. Prior to the most recent bimonthly count, citations to the paper
have accrued as follows:
July-August 2003: 30 citations
May-June 2003: 25
March-April 2003: 10
January-February 2003: 1
Total citations to date: 116
