Prospects For Precision Measurements with Reactor Antineutrinos at Daya Bay

Abstract

In 2012 the Daya Bay experiment made an unambiguous observation of reactor antineutrino disappearance over kilometer-long baselines and determined that the neutrino mixing angle $\theta_{13}$ is non-zero. The measurements of Daya Bay have provided the most precise determination of $\theta_{13}$ to date. This whitepaper outlines the prospects for precision studies of reactor antineutrinos at Daya Bay in the coming years. This includes precision measurements of sin$^2 2\theta_{13}$ and $\Delta m^2_{ee}$ to $<$3%, high-statistics measurement of reactor flux and spectrum, and non-standard physics searches.
