摘要
The Daya Bay reactor neutrino experiment was designed to measure theta(13) with an unpresesent sensitivity of sin(2)2 theta(13) down to 0.01 at 90% C.L. This is achieved with careful site selection and proper detector design. Placement of detector systems close to each of the two reactor clusters not only reduces nu(e) flux systematic uncertainties, but also cancels the common detection uncertainty when functional identical detectors are used in the near and far sites. With 621 days of data, the relative measurement of the (nu) over bar (e) rate and spectrum between near and far detectors gives sin(2)theta(13) = 0.084+0.005 and vertical bar Delta m(ee)(2)vertical bar = 2.44(-0.11)(+0.10) x 10(-3)eV(2). The (nu) over bar (e) data sample tagged by neutron capture on hydrogen provides an independent measurement of sin2 theta(13) by the rate dificit of the far site. With 2 near sites and a far site, Daya Bay experiment collects (nu) over bar (e) interactions with multiple baselines, which allows a search for light sterile neutrinos based on the relative spectral difference between three experimental sites. A measurement of the absolute reactor antineutrino flux was also performed thanks to the large (nu) over bar (e) sample collected.
