An overview of the Daya Bay Reactor Neutrino Experiment

arXiv:1605.01502 · doi:10.1016/j.nuclphysb.2016.04.034

Abstract

The Daya Bay Reactor Neutrino Experiment discovered an unexpectedly large neutrino oscillation related to the mixing angle $θ_{13}$ in 2012. This finding paved the way to the next generation of neutrino oscillation experiments. In this article, we review the history, featured design, and scientific results of Daya Bay. Prospects of the experiment are also described.
