Title: Measurement of the Electron Antineutrino Oscillation with 1958 Days of Operation at Daya Bay

Abstract

Here, we report a measurement of electron antineutrino oscillation from the Daya Bay Reactor Neutrino Experiment with nearly 4 million reactor ¯ν _e inverse β decay candidates observed over 1958 days of data collection. The installation of a flash analog-to-digital converter readout system and a special calibration campaign using different source enclosures reduce uncertainties in the absolute energy calibration to less than 0.5% for visible energies larger than 2 MeV. The uncertainty in the cosmogenic ⁹Li and ⁸He background is reduced from 45% to 30% in the near detectors. A detailed investigation of the spent nuclear fuel history improves its uncertainty from 100% to 30%. Analysis of the relative ¯ν _e rates and energy spectra among detectors yields sin ²2θ ₁₃ = 0.0856 ± 0.0029 and Δm ² ₃₂ = (2.471 ^+0.068 _–0.070) × 10 ^–3 eV ² assuming the normal hierarchy, and Δm ² ₃₂ = –(2.575 ^+0.068 _–0.070) × 10 ^–3 eV ² assuming the inverted hierarchy.

Measurement of the Electron Antineutrino Oscillation with 1958 Days of Operation at Daya Bay

Journal Article Adey, D. ; An, F. P. ; Balantekin, A. B. ; ... - Physical Review Letters

Here, we report a measurement of electron antineutrino oscillation from the Daya Bay Reactor Neutrino Experiment with nearly 4 million reactor ¯ν _e inverse β decay candidates observed over 1958 days of data collection. The installation of a flash analog-to-digital converter readout system and a special calibration campaign using different source enclosures reduce uncertainties in the absolute energy calibration to less than 0.5% for visible energies larger than 2 MeV. The uncertainty in the cosmogenic ⁹Li and ⁸He background is reduced from 45% to 30% in the near detectors. A detailed investigation of the spent nuclear fuel history improves itsmore »« less

Measurement of electron antineutrino oscillation based on 1230 days of operation of the Daya Bay experiment

Journal Article An, F. P. ; Balantekin, A. B. ; Band, H. R. ; ... - Physical Review D

Here, a measurement of electron antineutrino oscillation by the Daya Bay Reactor Neutrino Experiment is described in detail. Six 2.9-GWth nuclear power reactors of the Daya Bay and Ling Ao nuclear power facilities served as intense sources of ¯ν _e’s. Comparison of the ¯ν _e rate and energy spectrum measured by antineutrino detectors far from the nuclear reactors (~1500–1950 m) relative to detectors near the reactors (~350–600 m) allowed a precise measurement of ¯ν _e disappearance. More than 2.5 million ¯ν _e inverse beta-decay interactions were observed, based on the combination of 217 days of operation of six antineutrino detectorsmore »« less

Study of the wave packet treatment of neutrino oscillation at Daya Bay

Journal Article An F. P. ; Jaffe, D. ; Bishai, M ; ... - European Physical Journal. C, Particles and Fields

Here, the disappearance of reactor ν¯ _e observed by the Daya Bay experiment is examined in the framework of a model in which the neutrino is described by a wave packet with a relative intrinsic momentum dispersion σrelσrel . Three pairs of nuclear reactors and eight antineutrino detectors, each with good energy resolution, distributed among three experimental halls, supply a high-statistics sample of ν¯ _e acquired at nine different baselines. This provides a unique platform to test the effects which arise from the wave packet treatment of neutrino oscillation. The modified survival probability formula was used to fit Daya Baymore »« less

The detector system of the Daya Bay reactor neutrino experiment

Journal Article An, F. P. ; Bai, J. Z. ; Balantekin, A. B. ; ... - Nuclear Instruments and Methods in Physics Research. Section A, Accelerators, Spectrometers, Detectors and Associated Equipment

The Daya Bay experiment was the first to report simultaneous measurements of reactor antineutrinos at multiple baselines leading to the discovery of ν¯e oscillations over km-baselines. Subsequent data has provided the world's most precise measurement of sin ²2θ ₁₃ and the effective mass splitting Δm ² _ee. The experiment is located in Daya Bay, China where the cluster of six nuclear reactors is among the world's most prolific sources of electron antineutrinos. Multiple antineutrino detectors are deployed in three underground water pools at different distances from the reactor cores to search for deviations in the antineutrino rate and energy spectrummore »« less
