Description
Search for $\theta_{13}$, the last unknown mixing angle is extreamly important in
understanding the lepton flavor mixing matrix, and investigation of the CP violation
in the lepton sector. The reactor neutrino experiments can provide a clean laboratory
for the $\theta_{13}$ measurement via electron antineutrino disappearance.
The Daya Bay experiment proposes to measure $\sin^{2}2\theta_{13}$ with a sensitivity
better than 0.01 (90% C.L) in three year run at the Daya Bay reactor power plant in China.
In this talk I will present the physics prospects and sensitivity of our experiment.
