Abstract
The Daya Bay experiment was designed to measure the least known mixing angle in the three-flavor neutrino mixing framework, θ13, with unprecedented precision by employing a relative rate measurement of electron antineutrinos from nuclear reactors. Data collected in a 217 day long period when six detectors were operational have been analyzed. Rate and energy spectra analysis yielded sin2 2θ13 = 0.090+0.008−0.009, as well as a new result for an effective mass squared splitting Δm2ee = 2.59+0.19−0.20× 10−3 eV2. The experiment started taking data in its full configuration with 8 detectors operational in fall 2012. We will briefly describe the experiment and the recent results. We will also overview future prospects of the experiment.
