The goal of the Daya Bay experiment is to measure the last unknown angle, theta_13, of the neutrino mixing matrix with a sensitivity in sin² 2(theta_13) of 0.01. The Daya Bay experiment will search for the « disappearance » of reactor anti-neutrinos with multiple detectors at different baselines. The status and prospects of the experiment will be presented.
