Daya Bay experiment will use 200 ton 0.1% Gd-doped LS and 200 ton normal LSGd-TMHA + LAB + 3g/L PPO + 15mg/L bis-MSB
To ensure IDENTICAL detectors, all Gd-LS will be produced in multiple 4-ton batches and mixed in reservoir on-site.March 2009, a batch of 4 ton Gd-LS was produced successfully.
LS production has been started in Oct. 2010

Waterproof 8” PMTs: Potting and production finished.Water filtration and circulation system ready for installation.Have begun installing Tyvek and PMTs.
Production and testing for all 1600 RPC s have been completed.More than 85% of RPC modules (2 RPCs x 4 layers) have been assembled and most of them tested.Modules for DYB hall will be ready soon.Support structure for DYB hall has been installed and tested.

Goal: Sin22 θ13 < 0.01 @ 90% CL in 3 years
Redundancy is a unique feature for this experiment:
Identical antineutrino detector modules to reduce errors and cross check.
Multiple muon veto:Two zones of Cerenkov detector + RPC at the top.Total efficiency > (99.5 0.25) %.

Value of θ13 is critical for studying CP violation and neutrino mass hierarchy.If Sin22 θ13 <0.01, long baseline experiments with conventional beam have little chance to determine CP violation. Determining θ13 by observingelectron antineutrino disappearance at reactor.Clean signal, only related to θ13.Relative measurement with near and far detectors.
