Daya Bay Reactor Neutrino Experiment

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Daya Bay Reactor Neutrino Experiment is a China-based multinational particle physics project studying neutrinos. The experiment studies neutrino oscillation and is designed to measure the mixing angle q13 using antineutrinos produced by the reactors of the Daya Bay Nuclear Power Plant and the Ling Ao Nuclear Power Plant. Scientists are interested in whether neutrinos are CP violators.

It is situated at Daya Bay, approximately 52 kilometers north of Hong Kong and 45 kilometers east of Shenzhen.
