Description

Recently, the value of the smallest mixing angle theta13 has been precisely measured in reactor neutrino experiments. Short overview of neutrino oscillations phenomenology and results will be followed by more detailed information of the theta13 measurement performed by the Daya Bay reactor neutrino experiment in Southern China. The importance of the theta13 measurement for possible discovery of the CP violation in the lepton sector will be discussed.
