Description
The Daya Bay Reactor Neutrino Experiment consists of eight identically designed antineutrino detectors placed underground at different baselines from six 2.9 GW$_\mathrm{th}$ nuclear reactors in China. With the largest sample of reactor antineutrino interactions to date, and a tight control of systematic uncertainties, the experiment is able to determine the $\theta_{13}$ mixing angle, search for light sterile neutrino mixing, and characterize antineutrino emission from commercial nuclear reactors, with world-leading precision. In this talk, I will provide an overview of our latest results on these areas. I will also briefly review the prospects for the experiment.
