B Where Can I Find The New Daya Bay Results?

Click For Summary
The Daya Bay experiment announced a new measurement of the neutrino oscillation parameter theta13 on May 31, 2022, but did not provide a full summary or reference to a paper. There are no preprints on arXiv or links to a publication on their website, leading to speculation that the results may be on hold due to geopolitical issues, such as the impact of Russia's invasion of Ukraine on scientific publications. The Neutrino 2022 conference in Seoul, which occurred shortly after the announcement, included a presentation that may contain the results, but access to the slides and video is gated for some users. Despite this, some participants were able to access the conference materials without issues. The discussion highlights the challenges in obtaining the new results and the potential reasons for the lack of publication.

TL;DR
On May 31, 2022, the Daya Bay Experiment announced they had a new ultraprecise measurement of one of the neutrino oscillation parameters, but I can't find the details.
On May 31, 2022, the Daya Bay experiment announced in a press release that they had made a new ultra-precise measurement of the neutrino oscillation parameter theta13 (but did not provide the half line of text necessary to fully summarize the new result).

The press release also doesn't provide a reference to a paper describing the result (or even the name of a journal where the result is or will be published). There are no preprints on arXiv announcing the result. And, I couldn't locate any links to a paper discussing the results on their website. It could be in a conference paper, and the announcement referenced the Neutrino 2022 conference in Seoul, South Korea which ended on June 4, 2022, but the only reference I can find to the new results at the conference website is to slides from a June 1, 2022 presentation gated (unlike most conference results post-presentation).

Does anyone know where this newly announced result can be found?

It may be on hold re: Russia's invasion of Ukraine. CERN, for example, has suspended all publications until it is decided under what, if any, conditions Russian institutions can remain on the author list.

Good point! That makes a lot of sense, but hadn't even occurred to me. One would think that someone would report the result from the powerpoint presentation at the conference, however, even if the paper was on hold for reasons like that. The entire result could be stated as sin2(2Θ13) = X ± Y updating, for example, their 2014 result in this format of sin2(2θ13)=0.089±0.008.

I can access the slides and video from the conference website without issues. I tried it from two different IP addresses from two different countries.

Awesome! I don't know why my effort came up gated.

Mine did too. It may be that access to the link itself is gated but the content is available to anyone with the URL?
