We present new preliminary DANSS results based on 3.5 million Inverse Beta Decay (IBD) events collected at 3 distances (10.9 m, 11.9 m, and 12.9 m) from the detector center to the reactor core center. The detector position is changed…
The status of theta13 measurements from Daya Bay, RENO and Double Chooz experiments is reviewed.
We have surveyed leptonic and grand unified models of neutrino masses and mixings in the literature which are still viable and give numerical predictions for the reactor angle, $\theta_{13}$. The results are of considerable interest in…
Double Chooz is a reactor neutrino experiment which investigates the last neutrino mixing angle; theta-13. It is necessary to measure reactor neutrino disappearance with precision 1% or better to detect finite value of theta-13. This…

We discuss the neutrino oscillations, using texture zero mass matrices for the leptons, including radiative correction. The neutrino mixing angle theta_13 is calculated and agrees with the result of the new Daya Bay experiment.
We demonstrate enormous power of dedicated reactor experiment for \theta_{12} with a detector placed at around the first oscillation maximum, which we call "SADO". It allows determination of sin^2\theta_{12} to the accuracy of \simeq 2% at…
The Daya Bay Antineutrino Detector gas system is designed to protect the liquid scintillator targets of the antineutrino detectors against degradation and contamination from exposure to ambient laboratory air. The gas system is also used to…
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…
