Three zones: – Complicated acrylic tank construction – g backgrounds on walls – Less fiducial volume ? Two zones: – Neutrino energy spectrum distorted – Neutron efficiency error due to energy scale and resolution: two zones: %, three zones % – Using 4 MeV cut can reduce the error by a factor of two, but backgrounds from b?g do not allow us to do so 2 zone 3 zone cut cut Capture on Gd Capture on H Vessel boundary Reactorrelated Uncertainties of Daya Bay Reactor Cores Syst. error due to Power Fluctuations Syst. error due to Core Positions Total syst. error 4 % % % 6 % % % Based on experience of past experiments, due to uncertainty in measuring the amount of thermal power produced, the uncorrelated error per reactor core sp ? 2%. frF and frN are fractions of the events at the far and near site from reactor r respectively. ? s s y s ? s p f Fr ? f Nr? ?2r??
