Prospects For Precision Measurements with Reactor Antineutrinos at Daya Bay


Abstract in English

In 2012 the Daya Bay experiment made an unambiguous observation of reactor antineutrino disappearance over kilometer-long baselines and determined that the neutrino mixing angle $theta_{13}$ is non-zero. The measurements of Daya Bay have provided the most precise determination of $theta_{13}$ to date. This whitepaper outlines the prospects for precision studies of reactor antineutrinos at Daya Bay in the coming years. This includes precision measurements of sin$^2 2theta_{13}$ and $Delta m^2_{ee}$ to $<$3%, high-statistics measurement of reactor flux and spectrum, and non-standard physics searches.
