Conventional reactor neutrino experiments are dissapearance experiments, and thus have less sensitivity to small mixing angles than appearance experiments do. It has been recently shown that future reactor neutrino experiments consisiting…
This presentation describes a precision result of the neutrino mixing parameter, $\sin^2 2\theta_{13}$, and the first direct measurement of the antineutrino mass-squared difference $\sin^2(\Delta_{ee}) \equiv \cos^2 \theta_{12} \sin^2…
This paper presents a strategy for measuring sin^2 theta_W to ~1% at a reactor-based experiment, using antineutrinos electron elastic scattering. This error is comparable to the NuTeV, SLAC E158, and APV results on sin^2 theta_W, but with…
Angle \theta_13 is one of the two unknown neutrino mixing parameters to be determined. Its value may determine the future trend of the neutrino physics. We propose to measure sin^22\theta_13 with a sensitivity better than 0.01 (90% C.L) at…
