TL;DR
The Daya Bay Neutrino Experiment aims to precisely measure the neutrino mixing angle theta_13, with ongoing detector construction and initial results, expecting to improve understanding of neutrino oscillations.
Contribution
This paper reviews the experiment's goals, progress, and schedule, highlighting the construction status and initial results of the detectors for neutrino measurement.
Findings
Dry run results of the first two detectors
Scheduled data collection at three halls starting in 2011 and 2012
Projected precision of 0.01 on sin^2(2theta_13) at 90% confidence level
Abstract
Daya Bay Neutrino Experiment is dedicated to measuring the last unobserved neutrino mixing angle theta_13. The predicted precision on sin^2(2theta_13) is 0.01 at 90% confidence level. This document briefly reviews the measurement method and detector construction status. The first two anti-neutrino detectors' dry run result is also discussed. The Daya Bay near hall data taking is expected to commence in the summer of 2011 and the data taking of all of the three halls in the summer of 2012.
