It is not possible to extract from these data the <strong>an</strong>ti-nu signal<br />
… but this was only a prototype!<br />
Detection strategy<br />
towards a full-scale detector<br />
1) Increase <strong>an</strong>ti-nu rate <strong>by</strong> loosing DAQ trigger <strong>an</strong>d <strong>an</strong>alysis conditions<br />
2) Reduce to negligible value <strong>an</strong>y reactor-correlated bg<br />
3) Reduce as much as possible cosmic n bg<br />
