A Study of Systematic Uncertainties in the Daya Bay Neutrino Experiment using the GLoBES Software
The Daya Bay reactor neutrino experiment is designed to set a precision upper limit on, if not pin-point, the value of the θ13 neutrino oscillation parameter. As shown in the parameterized Pontecorvo-Maki-Nakagawa-Sakata matrix, accurate measurement of θ13 may enable the study of CP violation in the lepton sector, in addition to supporting our understanding of neutrino oscillation arising from ...
متن کاملAssembly and Installation of the Daya Bay Antineutrino Detectors
The Daya Bay reactor antineutrino experiment is designed to make a precision measurement of the neutrino mixing angle θ13, and recently made the definitive discovery of its nonzero value. It utilizes a set of eight, functionally identical antineutrino detectors to measure the reactor flux and spectrum at baselines of ∼ 300 2000m from the Daya Bay and Ling Ao Nuclear Power Plants. The Daya Bay a...
متن کاملReactor Neutrino Experiments
Precisely measuring θ13 is one of the highest priority in neutrino oscillation study. Reactor experiments can cleanly determine θ13. Past reactor neutrino experiments are reviewed and status of next precision θ13 experiments are presented. Daya Bay is designed to measure sin 2θ13 to better than 0.01 and Double Chooz and RENO are designed to measure it to 0.02-0.03. All are heading to full opera...
متن کاملDaya Bay Neutrino Experiment
The observation of neutrino oscillation in experiments involving solar, atmospheric, accelerator, and reactor neutrinos has demonstrated that the masses of neutrinos are nonzero, and neutrinos with different flavors can mix with each other to form the mass eigenstates. Neutrino oscillation has provided the only compelling evidence thus far for new physics beyond the standard model (SM). The sma...

Reactor neutrinos play an important role in determining parameter θ13 in the lepton mixing (PMNS) matrix. Next important step on measuring PMNS matrix could be to build another reactor neutrino experiment in DaYa bay, China, to search the possible oscillations via sin 2θ13 and ∆m 13 . We consider 4 different schemes for positions of three 8-ton detectors of this experiment, and simulate the res...
متن کاملBackground Effects in Day Bay Neutrino Oscillation Experiment
The Daya Bay reactor neutrino experiment aims to measure the last unknown neutrino mixing parameter θ13 with a sensitivity of sin 2θ13 < 0.01 at 90% C.L. To achieve this goal it is necessary to investigate all possible background effects that may contribute to the signal measurements, and to estimate related uncertainties. A muon capture is one of processes that may contribute the backgrounds o...
