Due to the different overburden, BG is not fully canceled.

Better understand of BG reduces sys. errors. (To be measured within a few tens of percent If we can take ~a few weeks reactor OFF data.)

Summary for Double Chooz • The Double Chooz experiment

– Double Chooz will be the first of a new generation of reactor neutrino experiments. It is the one of the best experimental concept to measure 13

• The status of DoubleChooz Experiment– Detector Construction are close to the final stages.

• Installation of DAQ/Electronics starts in the next week.• Filling of Liquid Scintillator follows.

– We should observe the neutrino from reactor in this year!– Construction of the near site/detector will be started soon.

• Prospects for the future– First data taking expected to start in 2010 with far detector only ⇒sin2(213) < 0.06 in 1.5 year – From year 2011~, take data with the both near and far detectors ⇒sin2(213) < 0.03 in 3 years
