The Double Chooz Experiment

  • 1. Illinois Institute of Technology, 3101 South Dearborn Street, Chicago, Illinois (United States)

Description

There is broad consensus in the worldwide physics community as to the need for a new reactor-neutrino experiment to measure or limit the neutrino mixing angle θ13. The Double Chooz Experiment, planned for operation in the years 2008-2011, will search for values of sin22θ13 down to ≅0.03. This will be the first new information on θ13 in over a decade and will cover most of the remaining parameter space. A quick and relatively inexpensive project is made possible by the existing neutrino laboratory at the Chooz site
