Daya Bay Collaboration

Abstract

We present a new determination of the smallest neutrino mixing angle θ₁₃ and the mass-squared difference Δm²₃₂ using a final sample of 5.55 × 10⁶ inverse beta-decay (IBD) candidates with the final-state neutron captured on gadolinium. This sample is selected from the complete dataset obtained by the Daya Bay reactor neutrino experiment in 3158 days of operation. Compared to the previous Daya Bay results, selection of IBD candidates has been optimized, energy calibration refined, and treatment of backgrounds further improved. The resulting oscillation parameters are sin²2θ₁₃ = 0.0851±0.0024, Δm²₃₂ = (2.466±0.060)×10⁻³ eV² for the normal mass ordering or Δm²₃₂ = −(2.571±0.060)×10⁻³ eV² for the inverted mass ordering.
