The Daya Bay Reactor Neutrino Experiment

The Daya Bay experiment has determined the last unknown mixing angle theta₁₃. This thesis describes the layout of the experiment and the detector design. The analysis presented in the thesis covered the water attenuation, spent fuel neutrino and electron anti-neutrino spectrum. Other physics analysis and impact to future experiments are also discussed.
