Abstract
The Daya Bay Reactor Neutrino Experiment was designed to precisely measure mixing angle θ13, with the sensitivity better than 0.01 in sin2 2θ13 at the 90% C.L. Eight functional identical anti-neutrino detectors are deployed in water pools underground at various baselines from the reactors, for the near-far relative measurement. The experiment began physics data taking on Dec. 24, 2011. With 55 days of data, the Daya Bay experiment observed a non-zero value of θ13 at 5.2 standard deviations. The most recent analysis with 139 days of data yields sin2 2θ13 = 0.089±0.010(stat.)±0.005(syst.), which is the most precise measurement to date.
