J. Cao (IHEP) Daya Bay Neutrino Experiment Daya Bay Neutrino Experiment Jun Cao Institute of High Energy Physics, Beijing Neutrino Oscillation Reactor Neutrino Physics Goal The proposed Daya Bay Experiment will measure sin22?13 to 0.01 or better at 90% C.L. in a three-year run (2001). And a direct measurement of ?m231 Location of Daya Bay The Site Tunnel Layout Muon Simulation A Versatile Site Fast measurement: One near site + mid site Sensitivity ~ 0.03 in a one year run 40 ton/site, reactor error 0.7% Detector Three-layer structure: I. target: Gd-loaded scintillator, 20 ton II. gamma catcher: normal scintillator, 45cm III. Buffer shielding: mineral oil, ~45cm Possibly with reflection on top and bottom ~200 8”PMTs mounted in oil Veto Background Systematics Sensitivity IHEP Detector Prototype Aberdeen Tunnel Exp. Hong Kong University Chinese University of Hong Kong. Started in Jun. 2005 ~ 240m Overburden To study cosmic muon, neutron production, possibly cosmogenic isotopes.
