Review of Reactor Neutrino Oscillation Experiments

High Energy Physics - Experiment 2012-03-02 v2

Abstract

In this document we will review the current status of reactor neutrino oscillation experiments and present their physics potentials for measuring the θ13\theta_{13} neutrino mixing angle. The neutrino mixing angle θ13\theta_{13} is currently a high-priority topic in the field of neutrino physics. There are currently three different reactor neutrino experiments, \textsc{Double Chooz}, \textsc{Daya Bay} and \textsc{Reno} and a few accelerator neutrino experiments searching for neutrino oscillations induced by this angle. A description of the reactor experiments searching for a non-zero value of θ13\theta_{13} is given, along with a discussion of the sensitivities that these experiments can reach in the near future.
