摘要：

Reactor neutrinos have played a key role in understanding neutrino physics since their discovery. The so-called reactor-anti-neutrino-anomaly RAA, a similar to 6.5% deficit of the mean observed neutrino flux compared to the prediction appeared recently. This anomaly could be interpreted by the existence of a fourth, sterile, neutrino and this hypothesis is currently being tested by the very short baseline experiment STEREO. The latter is installed at very short distance (9-11m) from the compact core of the ILL research reactor in Grenoble-France and collecting data since November 2016. The ILL core is highly enriched in U-235 and releases a nominal thermal power of 58.3 MW. The geometry of the STEREO detector, segmented into six identical cells filled with Gd-loaded liquid scintillator, is designed for a direct test of a new oscillation pattern in the L/E range around 1 m/MeV, relevant for the RAA. First published results of STEREO have demonstrated the mitigation of the background induced by the reactor and the cosmic-rays and a good energy response. The data taking is now in progress with very stable conditions favorable for an improved accuracy. We will present an overview of the experiment and an update of the sterile neutrino analysis. A refined prediction of the neutrino spectrum emitted by the ILL reactor is also presented.
