Description
The Daya Bay experiment aims to measure the last unobserved neutrino
mixing angle theta_13 with a sensitivity of sin^2 (2 theta_13) <
0.01 at 90% C.L. The experiment will measure the flux and energy
spectrum of reactor antineutrinos through the inverse beta-decay
reaction on protons in eight detectors in three underground sites at
different distances from the reactor cores. An overview and the
current status of the experiment will be discussed.
Summary
This talk will provide an overview of the goals and techniques of the Daya Bay experiment and a discussion of the current construction status.
