Reactor experiments review

Reactors are a copious source of anti-neutrinos and for this reason they have been critical tools to pin down neutrino fundamental properties since their discovery. Depending on the distance between reactor cores and experiments different oscillation parameter regions can be probed: in this review the regimes of very short, short and medium baselines are discussed with highlights on the current results and prospectives. Furthermore the high resolution which can be nowadays achieved allows to understand better the contributions from different fissile elements in the anti-neutrino spectrum. Fuel composition analysis as well as sterile neutrino search are also discussed
