The Daya Bay Reactor Neutrino Experiment has measured a non-zero value for the neutrino mixing angle $\theta_{13}$ with a significance of 5.2 standard deviations. Antineutrinos from six 2.9 GW$_{\rm th}$ reactors were detected in six antineutrino detectors deployed in two near (flux-weighted baseline 470 m and 576 m) and one far (1648 m) underground experimental halls. With a 43,000 ton-GW_{\rm th}-day livetime exposure in 55 days, 10416 (80376) electron antineutrino candidates were detected at the far hall (near halls). The ratio of the observed to expected number of antineutrinos at the far hall is $R=0.940\pm 0.011({\rm stat}) \pm 0.004({\rm syst})$. A rate-only analysis finds $\sin^22\theta_{13}=0.092\pm 0.016({\rm stat})\pm0.005({\rm syst})$ in a three-neutrino framework.

  1. Neutron Reconstruction via Blips in Liquid Argon Time Projection Chambers

    hep-ex 2026-04 unverdicted novelty 6.0

    Simulation-based proof-of-concept demonstrates neutron identification and reconstruction of direction and energy using blips from inelastic scattering in LArTPCs.

  2. Resonant Leptogenesis in a Two-Triplet Type-II Seesaw: A Dynamical Origin of Suppressed Lepton Flavor Violation

    hep-ph 2026-04 unverdicted novelty 4.0

    In a two-triplet Type-II seesaw, resonant leptogenesis at the TeV scale dynamically requires small Yukawa couplings that suppress observable lepton flavor violation as a direct consequence of successful baryogenesis.

  3. $SO(10)$-inspired leptogenesis

    hep-ph 2026-04 unverdicted novelty 3.0

    SO(10)-inspired leptogenesis implies N2-leptogenesis, ruling out inverted neutrino ordering under strict conditions and enabling initial-condition-independent asymmetry in subsets of solutions.
