Abstract
KamLAND is a 1000 ton liquid scintillation detector currently under construction in the Kamioka mine in Japan. This underground site, with its large overburden of 2700 mw.e., is conveniently located at a distance of 150–210 km to several Japanese nuclear power stations. A measurement of the flux and energy spectrum of the electron anti-neutrinos, emitted by those reactors, will allow us to test the Large Mixing Angle Solution of the solar neutrino anomaly by performing a disappearance search for anti-neutrino oscillations. We will hence, for the first time, provide a completely solar model independent test of this particle physics solution of the solar neutrino problem. Data taking is expected to commence in 2001.
