Searching for the neutrino mixing angle Θ13 at reactors
Description
Two neutrino mixing angles have been measured, and much of the neutrino community is turning its attention to the unmeasured mixing angle, quq, whose best limit comes from the reactor neutrino experiment CHOOZ. New two detector reactor neutrino experiments are being planned, along with more ambitious accelerator experiments, to measure or further limit quq. Here I will overview how to measure quq using reactor neutrinos, mention some experiments that were considered and are not going forward, and review the current status of four projects: Double Chooz in France, Daya Bay in China, RENO in South Korea and Angra in Brazil. Finally I will mention how the neutrino observer can gauge progress in these projects two years from now as we approach the times corresponding to early estimates for new results.
