Abstract

The Daya Bay experiment has determined the last unknown mixing angle theta13. This thesis describes the layout of the experiment and the detector design. The analysis presented in the thesis covered the water attenuation, spent fuel neutrino and electron anti-neutrino spectrum. Other physics analysis and impact to future experiments are also discussed.
