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

F. P. An et al. (Daya Bay Collaboration)

Phys. Rev. D 93, 072011 (2016) - Published 21 April, 2016

The Daya Bay collaboration, with all eight of its anti-neutrino detectors functioning, returns to measuring the neutrino mixing angle $θ_{13}$ through hydrogen capture of neutrons produced in inverse-beta decay. The new measurement improves significantly on the uncertainty in the value of $θ_{13}$ measured using this method.

EDITORS' SUGGESTION

Rays of light from the LHC

Phys. Rev. D 93, 075020 (2016) - Published 13 April, 2016

The excess recently reported by the ATLAS and CMS collaborations in the diphoton channel, if confirmed, is argued to require beyond standard model physics for an explanation. Four possible scenarios and some of their consequences are explored.
