Max-Planck-Institut für Physik, Auditorium
Description
The DayaBay Experiment is being constructed in Southern China by a collaboration
of primarily US and Chinese scientists. The experiment will provide the most sensitive
measurement of the Neutrino mixing angle Theta 13, more than an order of
magnitude over the current best limit (CHOOZ & MINOS). In this talk, I will provide
an overview of why this particular mixing angle is so important, our sensitivity goals
and how we will reach them, the detector design as well as the current detector
construction status & schedule for beginning data-taking.
