Results and Prospects from the Daya Bay Reactor Neutrino Experiment

Abstract

The Daya Bay reactor experiment has reported the most precise measurement of sin${}^{2}2{\theta }_{13}$ and $\Delta m_{ee}^2$ by using a data set with the fully constructed design of 8 antineutrino detectors (ADs). We also report on a new independent measurement of sin${}^{2}2{\theta }_{13}$ from neutron capture on hydrogen, which confirms the results using gadolinium caputres. Several other analyses are also performed, including a measurements on the absolute reactor antineutrino flux and a search for light sterile neutrinos. Prospects for new analyses such as searching for CPT/LI violation at Daya Bay are ongoing.
