About
Fenfang Wu is a distinguished experimental physicist whose research centers on neutrino physics and precision detector calibration. As a key contributor to the Daya Bay Reactor Neutrino Experiment, Wu developed the automated calibration system for the antineutrino detectors, a critical innovation that enabled the high-precision measurement of the neutrino mixing angle θ₁₃. This work, published in a highly cited 2014 paper, directly supported one of the most significant discoveries in neutrino physics—the definitive observation of a non-zero θ₁₃, which opened new avenues for studying CP violation in the lepton sector. Wu’s calibration system ensured the unprecedented accuracy of the Daya Bay detectors, achieving a measurement of sin²2θ₁₃ with a precision better than 1%. With over 37 citations on this foundational work alone, Wu’s contributions have been instrumental in advancing our understanding of neutrino oscillations and have set a benchmark for future reactor neutrino experiments. Their meticulous approach to detector calibration continues to influence the design of next-generation neutrino observatories.
