Reactor neutrino experiments and systematical errors in GLoBES

Abstract
For a realistic simulation of reactor neutrino experiments, a careful treatment of systematical uncertainties is mandatory. After giving an overview of the most relevant error contributions and their implementation in a chi^2 analysis, we will focus on the simulation of systematical uncertainties in GLoBES. We will describe both the built-in analysis tools, and the new interface for user-defined systematics. The latter will be illustrated with a detailed example. We will conclude with some considerations on computational performance, and with the presentation of recent simulation results.
