Session Chairs:

- Shikha Prasad
- Alejandro Sonzogni

Antineutrinos produced by nuclear reactors are potentially useful for non-proliferation and reactor monitoring applications, for validating other existing and future datasets in the nuclear data pipeline, and for performing fundamental particle physics measurements. These three spheres of application rely to varying degrees on an accurate and precise understanding of the true aggregate antineutrino energy spectrum emitted by each primary fission isotope. The goals of this session are to identify future experimental, theory and software improvements that can expand understanding of directly-measured and indirectly-predicted antineutrino spectra, and to define the extent to which each of these improvements will benefit the three spheres of application described above.
