Daya 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...
متن کامل(Non)decoherence in the Daya Bay Reactor Antineutrino Experiment
The topic of decoherence in neutrino oscillations is intellectually interesting, but it is not relevant to a successful neutrino-oscillation experiment such as Daya Bay, in that if oscillations were observed, then there was essentially no decoherence in the experiment. As such, little knowledge of decoherence can be extracted from the data of a successful neutrino experiment, and a discussion o...
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 کاملA 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 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...
