C. Palomares (for Double-Chooz Collaboration)
TL;DR
The Double Chooz experiment aims to measure the Theta_13 neutrino mixing angle using identical detectors at different distances from a nuclear reactor, reducing systematic errors and advancing neutrino physics research.
Contribution
It introduces a new experimental setup with identical detectors at multiple distances to improve measurement accuracy of neutrino oscillation parameters.
Findings
First use of identical detectors at different sites for neutrino measurement
Expected to operate the far detector by early 2010
Installation of the near detector planned for 2010
Abstract
The Double Chooz experiment will use the electron antineutrinos produced by the Chooz nuclear power station to search for a non-vanishing value of the Theta_13 neutrino mixing angle. Double Chooz will be the first of a new generation of neutrino experiments using identical detectors at different distances from the neutrino source to reduce the systematic errors due to the uncertainties on the neutrino flux and to the detector acceptance. The far detector is expected to be operative by the beginning of 2010. Installation of the near detector will occur in 2010.
