Abstract
The Precision Reactor Oscillation and Spectrum Experiment, PROSPECT, is designed to both perform a reactor-model independent search for eV-scale sterile neutrino oscillations at meter-long baselines and to make a precise measurement of the antineutrino spectrum from a highly-enriched uranium reactor. To meet these goals, PROSPECT must be realized as a compact detector able to operate with little overburden in a high background environment. As such, PROSPECT also serves as an excellent test case for near- field reactor monitoring. This proceeding briefly describes the design, first data, and characterization of the PROSPECT antineutrino detector from the monitoring perspective.Proceedings Title
