Daya Bay Experiment

The Daya Bay Experiment is a scientific research project in China that studies neutrinos, tiny particles produced by nuclear reactors. Scientists set up detectors near reactors to observe how neutrinos change—or oscillate—as they travel through space. By measuring these changes, researchers aim to understand neutrino properties better, including a key mixing angle called θ13. This helps improve our knowledge of fundamental physics and the universe’s building blocks. The experiment’s precise measurements have significantly advanced our understanding of neutrino behavior and their role in the cosmos.
