PROSPECT, the Precision Reactor Oscillation and Spectrum Experiment, is a phased experiment at the High Flux Isotope Reactor of the Oak Ridge National Laboratory.
The two primary goals of the experiment are to measure the 235U antineutrino spectrum and to perform a search for sterile neutrinos with a Δm214 on the 1eV2 scale.
The Phase I detector will cover a baseline range of 7-12 m from the core while the second phase will extend the baseline out to 20 m.
The detection medium for the first phase is 3-tons of 6Li loaded liquid scintillator in an optically segmented detector.
This talk describes the current status of the experiment and the projected sensitivity in the search for an eV-scale sterile neutrino.
