The Daya Bay Neutrino Experiment is a neutrino-oscillation experiment designed to measure the mixing angle θ13 using anti-neutrinos produced by the reactors of the Daya Bay Nuclear Power Plant (NPP) and the Ling Ao NPP. Eight anti-neutrino detectors (AD) consists of liquid scintillator and Photomultiplier Tubes (PMTs) will be used in the experiment. The readout signals of the PMTs which are reacted by the Neutrino need to be accurately measured for the goal of the Daya Bay experiment which needs a measurement of sin22θ13 to 0.01 or better. But ringing was found in the PMT test. This paper describes the ringing in the readout signals of the PMTs, and analyses the cause of the ringing.

A brief summary of the current status of neutrino oscillations will be given. Then the on-going construction of the Daya Bay Reaction Neutrino Experiment near the Daya Bay nuclear power plant is sketched. The Daya Bay experiment will measure the mixing angle θ13 to the level of sin 2 2θ13 = 0.01.

Double Chooz is a long baseline neutrino oscillation experiment at Chooz, France. The purpose of this experiment is to measure the non-zero neutrino oscillation parameter θ13, a parameter for changing electron neutrinos into other neutrinos. This experiment uses reactors of the Chooz Nuclear Power Plant as a neutrino source. Double Chooz has published two papers with results showing the measurement of the mixing angle, and 3rd publication is processing.

The Daya Bay Reactor Neutrino Experiment was designed to measure Θ13, the smallest mixing angle in the three-neutrino mixing framework, with unprecedented precision. The experiment consists of eight identically designed detectors placed underground at different baselines from three pairs of nuclear reactors in South China. Since Dec. 2011, the experiment has been running stably for more than 7 years, and has collected the largest reactor antineutrino sample to date. Daya Bay greatly improved the precision on Θ13 and made an independent measurement of the effective mass splitting in the electron antineutrino disappearance channel. Daya Bay also performed a number of other precise measurements such as a high-statistics determination of the absolute reactor antineutrino flux and the spectrum evolution, as well as a search for the sterile neutrino mixing, among others. The most recent results from Daya Bay are discussed in this paper, as well as the current status and future prospects of the experiment.

The T2K long baseline neutrino oscillation experiment measures muon neutrino disappearance and electron neutrino appearance in accelerator-produced neutrino and anti-neutrino beams. This presentation reports on the analysis of our data from an exposure of 2 . 6 × 10 21 protons on target. Results for oscillation parameters, including the CP violation parameter and neutrino mass ordering, are shown.

As an industrialized city, Hong Kong annually consumes a large amount of fossil fuel. In addition, the Daya Bay Nuclear Power Plant in Shenzhen, Guangdong Province, has just begun operation 20 km from Hong Kong. These factors suggest that it may be appropriate and significant to examine the variation of atmospheric 14C levels in Hong Kong. We have collected and tested a variety of samples from different parts of Hong Kong: terrestrial annual grasses, marine plants and atmospheric CO2. We measured their 14C activity and compared it with that of cassia oil samples from Guangxi Province, China. The values obtained indicate that environmental 14C levels in the Hong Kong region agree with those found in Guangxi, both of which are significantly higher than the levels predicted by Povinec, Chudý and Šivo (1986).
