Description
The Daya Bay reactor neutrino experiment aims to measure the last
unknown neutrino mixing parameter $\theta_{13}$ with a sensitivity of
$\sin^22\theta_{13} < 0.01$ at 90\% C.L.
The experiment will measure the flux and energy spectrum of reactor
antineutrinos through the inverse beta-decay reaction on protons with
three sites at different distances from the reactor cores.
This measurement will provide a better understanding of the neutrino
mixing matrix and will also give direction to future experiments
probing CP violation in the lepton sector and the neutrino mass
hierarchy. An overview, current status, and schedule of the experiment
will be presented.
