"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.
[Authors' affiliations: 12 institutions

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 41 times in current journal articles
indexed
by Thomson ISI during November-December 2003. During that two-month period,
only one other paper in
physics published in the last two years (aside from reviews) attracted a
greater number of citations. Eguchi et al.,
in fact, wound up as the second-most-cited non-review paper published in 2003,
based on citations tallied in late
December. Prior to the most recent bimonthly count, citations to the paper
have accrued as follows:
September-October 2003: 50 citations
July-August 2003: 30
May-June 2003: 25
March-April 2003: 10
January-February 2003: 1
Total citations to date: 157
