Neutrino Mass And Mixing, Radiation Detectors, Power And Production Reactors

Scientific paper

The Double Chooz collaboration proposes to measure the value of the neutrino mixing angle θ13. The experiment will measure the flux of electron antineutrinos at two detectors placed ~=150 m and ~=1 km from the reactor cores at the Chooz nuclear power station. With 3 years of data and a relative detector normalization uncertainty of 0.6%, the error on the quantity sin2 2θ13 will be +/-0.02 if θ13 is small, then an upper limit of 0.03 (90% CL) will be established on sin2 2θ13. This experiment, which could start as early as the spring of 2007, will rapidly and substantially improve on the current best limit established by CHOOZ, and will guide future experiments.
