© 2015 American Physical Society. We report a new measurement of electron antineutrino disappearance using the fully constructed Daya Bay Reactor Neutrino Experiment. The final two of eight antineutrino detectors were installed in the summer of 2012. Including the 404 days of data collected from October 2012 to November 2013 resulted in a total exposure of 6.9×105 GWthtondays, a 3.6 times increase over our previous results. Improvements in energy calibration limited variations between detectors to 0.2%. Removal of six Am241-C13 radioactive calibration sources reduced the background by a factor of 2 for the detectors in the experimental hall furthest from the reactors. Direct prediction of the antineutrino signal in the far detectors based on the measurements in the near detectors explicitly minimized the dependence of the measurement on models of reactor antineutrino emission. The uncertainties in our estimates of sin22θ13 and |Δmee2| were halved as a result of these improvements. An analysis of the relative antineutrino rates and energy spectra between detectors gave sin22θ13=0.084±0.005 and |Δmee2|=(2.42±0.11)×10-3eV2 in the three-neutrino framework.Citation to related work
