Description

The Daya Bay reactor neutrino experiment, pioneering in its measurement of a non-zero value for the neutrino mixing angle $\theta_{13}$ in 2012, operated for about nine years from Nov. 24, 2011 to Dec. 12, 2020. Antineutrinos emanating from six reactors with a thermal power of 2.9 GW$_{\mathrm{th}}$ were detected by eight identically designed detectors, which were positioned in two near and one far underground experimental halls. This spatial configuration, spanning kilometer-scale baselines between detectors and reactors, facilitates a precise examination of the three-neutrino mixing framework. This talk will show the measurements of $\theta_{13}$ and the mass-squared difference by utilizing the Gd-capture tagged sample. Updates on the results derived from the H-capture tagged sample and the search for light sterile neutrinos will also be included.
