Description

The Daya Bay Reactor Neutrino Experiment aims at a precision measurement of the neutrino mixing angle theta_13 by observing the disappearance of electron antineutrinos from the Daya Bay nuclear reactor complex. The first Daya Bay result on theta_13 angle was announced in March 2012 and updated in June the same year. Recently, Daya Bay experiment announced a more precise result on theta_13. The improvement in precision results from higher statistics and the analysis of both event rates and energy spectra. The latter analysis also leads to the determination of the effective mass squared difference. This talk will present the new results in some detail.
