Creating A Public Data Access Webpage for Double Chooz
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper describes the creation of a public data access webpage that will allow people not affiliated with the Double Chooz experiment to understand exactly how the value of θ13 was measured by the experiment. Double Chooz is a a two detector neutrino experiment based in Chooz, France that has run since 2011. In this paper, I go into the background of neutrinos and the math behind them. I then talk about the Double Chooz experiment itself. Finally I go into my work done on the public data access webpage.

From Double Chooz to Triple Chooz — Neutrino Physics at the Chooz Reactor Complex
We discuss the potential of the proposed Double Chooz reactor experiment to measure the neutrino mixing angle sin 2θ13. We especially consider systematical uncertainties and their partial cancellation in a near and far detector operation, and we discuss implications of a delayed near detector startup. Furthermore, we introduce Triple Chooz, which is a possible upgrade scenario assuming a second...
متن کاملReview of θ13 and Prospects for Double Chooz
The Double Chooz reactor neutrino experiment will be the next detector to search for a non vanishing θ13 mixing angle with unprecedented sensitivity, which might open the way to unveiling CP violation in the leptonic sector. The measurement of this angle will be based on a precise comparison of the antineutrino spectrum at two identical detectors located at different distances from the Chooz nu...
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...

This Paper describes the work done analyzing the neutron capture on the Double Chooz detector located at northern France; this detector is searching for the oscillation of electron antineutrinos produced by a nuclear power plant. Neutrinos and also antineutrinos, of which there are three types, have been found to oscillate from one type to another. But these oscillations are governed by several...
