Till 2010 we had three unknown parameters of neutrino oscillation: the third mixing angle {\theta}_(13), the sign of the larger mass difference {\Delta}m^(2)_(31) and the CP violating phase {\delta}. Thanks to a number of consistent…
The relatively large measured value of theta_13 has opened various possiblities to determine the neutrino mass ordering, among them using PINGU, the low-energy extention of the IceCube neutrino telescope, to observe matter effects in…
The Daya Bay experiment consists of functionally identical antineutrino detectors immersed in pools of ultrapure water in three well-separated underground experimental halls near two nuclear reactor complexes. These pools serve both as…
Sterile neutrinos are one candidate to explain anomalies in neutrino oscillations. The mass-difference-driving oscillation between flavors can be probed only within specific combinations of baseline and flight energy. For a neutrino whose…
Neutrons produced by cosmic ray muons are an important background for underground experiments studying neutrino oscillations, neutrinoless double beta decay, dark matter, and other rare-event signals. A measurement of the neutron yield in…
As discussed elsewhere, the measurement of a non-zero value for $\theta_{13}$ would open up a wide range of possibilities to explore CP-violation and the mass hierarchy. Experimental methods to measure currently the unknown mixing angle…
The Daya Bay experiment has observed correlations between reactor core fuel evolution and changes in the reactor antineutrino flux and energy spectrum. Four antineutrino detectors in two experimental halls were used to identify 2.2 million…
The Daya Bay Reactor Neutrino experiment is designed to precisely determine the neutrino mixing angle theta13. In this paper, we report a maximum likelihood (ML) method to reconstruct the vertex and energy of events in the anti-neutrino…
New generation of three reactor neutrino experiments have made definitive measurements of the smallest neutrino mixing angle theta13 in 2012, based on the disappearance of electron antineutrinos. More precise measurements of the mixing…
This Letter reports new results on muon neutrino disappearance from NOvA, using a 14 kton detector equivalent exposure of $6.05\times10^{20}$ protons-on-target from the NuMI beam at the Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory. The measurement…
We demonstrate that the currently running short baseline reactor experiments, especially Daya Bay, can put a significant upper bound on $\Delta m^2_{21}$. This novel approach to determining $\Delta m^2_{21}$ can be performed with the…
Recently, the JUNO experiment published its measurement of the solar neutrino oscillation parameters $\Delta m^2_{21}$ and $\sin^2\theta_{12}$ based on 59 days of data, with central values differing by $0.2\sigma$ from those released by the…
We developed a highly sensitive, reliable and portable automatic system (H$^{3}$) to monitor the radon concentration of the underground experimental halls of the Daya Bay Reactor Neutrino Experiment. H$^{3}$ is able to measure radon…
The RENO experiment has analyzed about 500 live days of data to observe an energy dependent disappearance of reactor $\overline{\nu}_e$ by comparison of their prompt signal spectra measured in two identical near and far detectors. In the…
In this paper, we first discuss the detection of supernova neutrino on Earth. Then we propose a possible method to acquire information about $\theta_{13}$ smaller than $1.5^\circ$ by detecting the ratio of the event numbers of different…
The recent observation of an energy structure in the reactor antineutrino spectrum is reviewed. The reactor experiments Daya Bay, Double Chooz and RENO have reported a consistent excess of antineutrinos deviating from the flux predictions,…
The establishment of the neutrino oscillations phenomenon as a solution to both solar and atmospheric neutrino anomalies had two consequences: a new oscillation mode, labelled $\mathbf{\theta_{13}}$, and the possibility to observe CP…
A possibility to measure $\sin^22\theta_{13}$ using reactor neutrinos is examined in detail. It is shown that the sensitivity $\sin^22\theta_{13}>0.02$ can be reached with 20 ton-year data by placing identical CHOOZ-like detectors at near…
One of the main goals of RENO (Reactor Experiment for Neutrino Oscillation) is to measure the smallest neutrino mixing angle {\theta}13 using reactor neutrinos in Korea. RENO is the first reactor experiment taking data with two identical…
Taking into account recent theoretical and experimental inputs on reactor fluxes we reconsider the determination of the weak mixing angle from low energy experiments. We perform a global analysis to all available neutrino-electron…
