Description
The Daya Bay Reactor Anti-Neutrino Experiment is a neutrino oscillation experiment designed to observe and measure the neutrino mixing angle θ13. The sensitivity goal is 0.01 in sin^2(2θ13) at the 90% confidence level, a significant improvement over the current limit. This will be accomplished by measuring the relative rates and energy spectra of reactor electron antineutrinos with multiple detectors positioned at different baselines. Installation and commissioning activities are scheduled to begin with a year and be complete in 2011, followed by a three-year run. This presentation will discuss the detector design, construction, and installation plans.
Summary
This is one of two Daya Bay Reactor Experiment talks submitted to DPF2009. This talk will focus on the detector design and construction while the other talk will discuss the physics potential and sensitivity.
