Neutrino Oscillations from Analysis of Daya-Bay Spectrum

During the last 15 years neutrino oscillation experiments have produced results which show that neutrinos are massive and oscillate in flavour. One of the most recent results come from the Daya-Bay experiment which measures the disappearance of reactor antineutrinos at distances of the order of km. This experiment was the first one to provide with statistical significance a measurement of the last mixing angle of the leptonic mixing matrix, theta_13 based on the observation of a deficit in the observed over expected number of events. This summer Daya-Bay has released their data on the energy spectrum of their events which can provide additional information. The project proposes to review the formalism of neutrino oscillations and to proceed wiht the relevant computations to make an statistical analysis of the observed energy spectrum.
