Abstract
Being an intense and pure source of low energy electron antineutrinos, nuclear reactors are one of the most powerful tools to investigate neutrino oscillations. The Double Chooz experiment aims for a precise determination of the neutrino mixing angle θ13 using a two detector configuration with a liquid scintillator target volume read by photomultipliers. The antineutrino detection efficiency systematic uncertainty is the dominant component in the normalization uncertainty affecting the final precision on the θ13 measurement.The collected data from the near detector since January 2015 will profit from improved detection systematic uncertainties thanks to the cancellation of correlated contributions between both detectors.
