Description

The neutrino mixing angle $\theta_{13}$ is the gateway for studying CP violation in the lepton sector and determines the trend of future neutrino experiments. The Daya Bay Reactor Neutrino Experiment is designed to measure $\sin^22\theta_{13}$ to better than 0.01 at 90\%~C.L. This will be the most precise measurement of $\theta_{13}$ for the foreseeable future. In addition, the configuration of detectors at Daya Bay is well suited for addressing a broad range of topics, from cosmogenic backgrounds to supernovae. This poster will summarize the scientific goals and prospects of Daya Bay.
