Recent Results From The Daya Bay Experiment
Abstract
The Daya Bay reactor neutrino experiment has observed the disappearance of electron antineutrinos from nuclear reactors at kilometer baselines. The relative measurement of the rate and spectrum between near and far detectors allows for a precision measurement of the oscillation parameters and . Two new antineutrino detectors (ADs) were installed in summer 2012, bringing the experiment to the final 8-AD configuration. With 621 days of data, Daya Bay has measured and eV. This is the most precise measurement of to date and the most precise measurement of in this channel. Several other analyses are also performed, including an independent measurement of using samples tagged by neutron capture on hydrogen, a search for light sterile neutrinos, and a measurement of the absolute reactor antineutrino flux.
