Description
Neutrino oscillations and neutrino mass are the first, and only, known physics beyond the standard model. In the standard three neutrino model, neutrino oscillations, or mixing, is governed by 2 independent Δm2 scales, three mixing angles and one CP violating phase. Until very recently, only the last mixing angle, θ13, and the CPV phase, were still unknown. This talk will describe the first observation of non-zero sin22θ13 by the reactor neutrino experiment Daya Bay, and place this measurement in a global context.
