We report a measurement of electron antineutrino oscillation from the Daya Bay Reactor Neutrino Experiment with nearly 4 million reactor $\overline{\nu}_{e}$ inverse beta decay candidates observed over 1958 days of data collection. The installation of a Flash-ADC readout system and a special calibration campaign using different source enclosures reduce uncertainties in the absolute energy calibration to less than 0.5% for visible energies larger than 2 MeV. The uncertainty in the cosmogenic $^9$Li and $^8$He background is reduced from 45% to 30% in the near detectors. A detailed investigation of the spent nuclear fuel history improves its uncertainty from 100% to 30%. Analysis of the relative $\overline{\nu}_{e}$ rates and energy spectra among detectors yields $\sin^{2}2\theta_{13} = 0.0856\pm 0.0029$ and $\Delta m^2_{32}=(2.471^{+0.068}_{-0.070})\times 10^{-3}~\mathrm{eV}^2$ assuming the normal hierarchy, and $\Delta m^2_{32}=-(2.575^{+0.068}_{-0.070})\times 10^{-3}~\mathrm{eV}^2$ assuming the inverted hierarchy.

  1. A non-unitary solar constraint for long-baseline neutrino experiments

    hep-ph 2024-01 unverdicted novelty 5.0

    Solar data constrains the non-unitary parameter (1-α11) to less than 0.046 at 99% credible interval, with strong correlation to the solar mass splitting.

  2. Emergent Neutrino Texture Geometry from Dark Matter and Lepton Flavor Violation in the Scotogenic Model

    hep-ph 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 4.0

    Numerical scans in the minimal scotogenic model indicate that approximate neutrino texture structures emerge dynamically from dark matter and lepton flavor violation consistency conditions.

    hep-ph 2020-06 unverdicted novelty 3.0

    Updated global fit of neutrino oscillation data gives precise measurements of mixing parameters with a 2.5 sigma preference for normal mass ordering.
