Review of Reactor Neutrino Oscillation Experiments

Abstract

In this document we will review the current status of reactor neutrino oscillation experiments and present their physics potentials for measuring the ${\theta }_{13}$ neutrino mixing angle. The neutrino mixing angle ${\theta }_{13}$ is currently a high-priority topic in the field of neutrino physics. There are currently three different reactor neutrino experiments, \textsc{Double Chooz}, \textsc{Daya Bay} and \textsc{Reno} and a few accelerator neutrino experiments searching for neutrino oscillations induced by this angle. A description of the reactor experiments searching for a non-zero value of ${\theta }_{13}$ is given, along with a discussion of the sensitivities that these experiments can reach in the near future.
