Where Can I Find The New Daya Bay Results?

Click For Summary

Discussion Overview

The discussion revolves around the recent announcement of new results from the Daya Bay experiment regarding the neutrino oscillation parameter theta13. Participants are seeking information on where to find these results, which have not been fully published or made publicly accessible.

Discussion Character

  • Exploratory
  • Debate/contested

Main Points Raised

  • One participant notes that the Daya Bay experiment announced a new measurement of theta13 but did not provide sufficient details or references to a paper.
  • Another participant suggests that the publication of results may be on hold due to geopolitical issues, specifically referencing the impact of Russia's invasion of Ukraine on CERN's publication policies.
  • Some participants express surprise that results from the conference presentation have not been reported, despite the availability of slides and video from the conference website.
  • Links to the conference slides and video are shared by participants, indicating that they can access this material without issues.
  • There is a discussion about the potential gating of access to the conference content, with participants speculating on the reasons for this discrepancy in access.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

Participants do not reach a consensus on the availability of the new results or the reasons for the gating of access to the conference materials. Multiple viewpoints regarding the publication status and access to the results remain present.

Contextual Notes

There are unresolved questions regarding the publication timeline and the impact of external factors on the dissemination of scientific results. The discussion highlights the uncertainty surrounding access to the new findings.

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?
