Disappearance of reactor neutrinos: daya bay and beyond

Prof. Dr. Karsten Heeger, Department of Physics, Yale University, USA

Experiments with reactor antineutrinos have played an important role throughout the history of neutrino physics. Recently the Daya Bay experiment observed the oscillation of reactor antineutrinos over kilometer-scale baselines and measured the last unknown neutrino mixing angle. Reactor neutrinos enable precision studies of neutrino oscillation, allow us to search for signs of new physics, and are a tool for the remote monitoring of nuclear reactors. I will review the recent results of the Daya Bay experiment and discuss prospects for future reactor neutrino studies.
