Reactor Neutrino Experiments with a Large Liquid Scintillator Detector

We discuss several new ideas for reactor neutrino oscillation experiments with a Large Liquid Scintillator Detector. We consider two different scenarios for a measurement of the small mixing angle $θ_{13}$ with a mobile $\barν_e$ source: a nuclear-powered ship, such as a submarine or an icebreaker,...
