New measurement of θ_{13} via neutron capture on hydrogen at Daya Bay

This article reports an improved independent measurement of neutrino mixing angle \theta_{13} at the Daya Bay Reactor Neutrino Experiment. Electron antineutrinos were identified by inverse \beta-decays with the emitted neutron captured by hydrogen, yielding a data-set with principally distinct uncertainties from that with neutrons captured by gadolinium. With the final... Show more
