Particle Physics Seminar

"Status of the Double Chooz experiment and its calibration program"

Presented by Igor Ostrovskiy, University of Alabama

Friday, May 27, 2011, 11:00 am — Small Seminar Room, Bldg. 510

Double Chooz is the first of the several new reactor anti-neutrino experiments to start data taking. Its goal is to measure, or limit, the last unknown neutrino mixing angle 13. One of the two Double Chooz detectors is constructed, filled, and has started the physics run. The Double Chooz is expected to surpass the current best limit on 13 established by its predecessor, the CHOOZ experiment, in just a few months. After describing the Double Chooz design, its calibration systems, and expected sensitivity, we present the current status of the experiment.
