Abstract

Daya Bay Neutrino Experiment is dedicated to measuring the last unobserved neutrino mixing angle theta₁3. The predicted precision on sin²(2theta₁3) is 0.01 at 90% confidence level. This document briefly reviews the measurement method and detector construction status. The first two anti-neutrino detectors' dry run result is also discussed. The Daya Bay near hall data taking is expected to commence in the summer of 2011 and the data taking of all of the three halls in the summer of 2012.
