Resumo:
In this dissertation we have done, at first, a phenomenological study of some previous neutrino experiments, that had searched evidences of spectral distortion that corroborated the mechanism of flavor conversion, using nuclear reactors as source. We collected enough information about the methodology used for detection and analisys of neutrino spectrum of reactors, as well as the constraints on oscillation parameters provided by that experiments. Starting from this study, we investigated the possibility to explore a region of the space of parameters, characterized by a small mixing angle and high mass eigenstate, that not yet have been excluded by experimental results, but incompatible with the extracted current mass scale of the experiments with solar, atmospheric, accelerator (except for the LSND experiment) and reactor neutrinos. For this inquiry, we assume the simplest extension of the standart oscillation model, incorporating a new eigenstate responsible for the higher scale mass. Finally, we discuss a experimental configuration, based on nuclear reactor, which presents the sensitivity required to reach this set of parameters.
