| ABSTRACT: |
The current most demanded experiment in neutrino physics is to measure the last mixing angle theta-13. Double Chooz experiment is a reactor neutrino experiment to measure the theta-13. The experiment measures the sin^22theta_13 with 5 times better sensitivity than the current limit measured by the previous (single) Chooz experiment. The detector is now being prepared and it starts to take data from 2008. Recently a Japanese group has joined this experiment and is now playing an importnat role. In this talk, physics, detector, recent status and future prospects of the Double Chooz experiment will be described. |
