Particle Physics Seminar

"The Daya Bay Neutrino Experiment and the Search for Theta13"

Presented by Daniel Dwyer, California Institute of Technology

Thursday, March 4, 2010, 3:00 pm — Small Seminar Room, Bldg. 510

The Daya Bay neutrino oscillation experiment has the greatest
sensitivity to the neutrino mixing angle $\sin^2 2\theta_{13}$ of all
experiments currently under construction. Our goal is to either
determine the size of this mixing angle, or to establish a limit of
$\sin^2 2\theta_{13}<0.01$. Eight 'identical' detectors, a newly
constructed undergound facility, and multiple nuclear power reactors
will be used to reach this goal. The progress of construction and
recent results from detector testing will be discussed.
