Daya Bay Detector

Caption

The Daya Bay Reactor Neutrino Experiment captures faint flashes of light that indicate antineutrino interactions in detectors filled with scintillator fluids. Each detector is lined with photomultiplier tubes. Two detectors have begun collecting data, two more have been completed, and four are under construction.
