The Daya Bay Reactor Neutrino Experiment is designed to measure the neutrino mixing angle ï±13 with unprecedented precision. The experiment utilizes multiple pairs of identical antineutrino detectors (ADs) at different baselines from three pairs of reactor cores to minimize systematic uncertainties. In 2012, Daya Bay made the first definitive measurement of a non-zero value for ï±13 using the first 55 days of data collected with six ADs by measuring the antineutrino rate deficit. With the final two ADs installed, Daya Bay resumed data taking in full 8-AD configuration in late 2012. More than 1 (0.15) million electron antineutrino candidates had been collected with the near (far) site detectors by the end of 2013, significantly improving the precision on ï±13. In addition to precision measurement of neutrino oscillation parameters, analyses exploring various other physics potential are carried out. In this talk, I will present the latest results on neutrino oscillation parameters, the search for a light sterile neutrino and the measurement of reactor neutrino flux and spectrum.
