Abstract

The successful measurements of the smallest neutrino mixing angle, θ13\theta_{13}, in 2012 by the short (1\sim2 km) baseline reactor neutrinos experiments, Daya Bay, RENO, and Double Chooz, have triggered a golden age of neutrino physics. The three experiments have been improving the θ13\theta_{13} measurements by accumulating event statistics and reducing systematic uncertainties. Now the θ13\theta_{13} measurement is the most precise one among the mixing angles in the Pontecorvo-Maki-Nakagawa-Sakata matrix. The most updated θ13\theta_{13} and Δmee2\Delta m^{2}_{ee} measurements from these experiments are reported here as well as the 5 MeV excess, absolute reactor neutrino flux and sterile neutrino search. The best final precision on the sin22θ13^{2}2\theta_{13} (Δmee2|\Delta m^2_{ee}|) measurement is expected to be \sim3\% (\sim3\%). A combined analysis from the three experiments will reduce the uncertainty and the relevant activity has started recently.
