The Double Chooz Experiment
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 sin2 2θ13 down to ≈0.03. This will be the first new information on θ13 in over a decade and will cover most of the remaining paramet...
متن کاملDouble Chooz Neutrino REU
This paper seeks to explain the set up of the Double Chooz neutrino detection experiment on a basic level, and justify the need for a directionality based analysis of current results. The Double Chooz experiment’s current analysis looks at energies and timing of specific events, and encounters problems with background noise because of non-neutrino neutrino-like events. Incorporating directional...
متن کاملDouble Chooz: Muon Reconstruction
This paper describes work done on the Double Chooz neutrino detection project at Columbia University’s Nevis Labs during the summer of 2009. Presented in this paper are studies done on elimination of background events in the experiment. Cables for the outer veto system that reduces background were put together and tested for systematic errors. This report also describes studies of reconstructio...
متن کاملMuon Spallation in Double Chooz
This report presents my work for Double Chooz at MIT during the 2009 Summer REU program, funded by Columbia University. Double Chooz is a reactor neutrino experiment that aims to measure the mixing parameter θ13. The experiment detects electron antineutrinos via inverse beta decay. Neutrons and light nuclei made in muon spallation are a major background to the experiment. The delayed neutron em...
متن کاملDouble Chooz at Nevis Labs
This report presents my work for Double Chooz at Columbia University’s Nevis Labs during the 2008 Summer REU program. Double Chooz is a neutrino experiment that will either measure or constrain the neutrino mass mixing parameter θ13. Columbia University and collaborators are responsible for the Double Chooz Outer Veto, which detects incoming Cosmic Muons to prevent false signal in the main dete...
