Determining θ13 Using Nuclear Reactors
Abstract
Besides being a fundamental parameter of Nature, the yet undetermined neutrino mixing angle θ13 plays a key role in exploring CP symmetry in the lepton sector. By performing a new generation of disappearance experiments with a baseline between 1 and 2 km using low-energy electron antineutrinos from nuclear reactors, the mixing angle θ13 could be measured to an order of magnitude better than the current limit. The merits and the challanges of this new round of experiments will be presented.
