Title: Double Chooz θ₁₃ measurement via total neutron capture detection

Abstract

Neutrinos were assumed to be massless particles until the discovery of the neutrino oscillation process. This phenomenon indicates that the neutrinos have non-zero masses and the mass eigenstates (ν₁, ν₂, ν₃) are mixtures of their flavour eigenstates (ν_e, ν_μ, ν_τ). The oscillations between different flavour eigenstates are described by three mixing angles (θ₁₂, θ₂₃, θ₁₃), two differences of the squared neutrino masses of the ν₂/ν₁ and ν₃/ν₁ pairs and a charge conjugation parity symmetry violating phase δ_CP. The Double Chooz experiment, located near the Chooz Electricité de France reactors, measures the oscillation parameter θ₁₃ using reactor neutrinos. In this work, the Double Chooz collaboration reports the measurement of the mixing angle θ₁₃ with the new total neutron capture detection technique from the full data set, yielding sin²(2θ₁₃) = 0.105 ± 0.014. This measurement exploits the multidetector configuration, the isoflux baseline and data recorded when the reactors were switched off. In addition to the neutrino mixing angle measurement, Double Chooz provides a precise measurement of the reactor neutrino flux, given by the mean cross-section per fission $$\langle$$σ_f$$\rangle$$ = (5.71 ± 0.06) × 10^–43 cm² per fission, and reports an empirical model of the distortion in the reactor neutrino spectrum.

Double Chooz {theta}13 measurement via total neutron capture detection

Journal Article Djurcic, Z. ; Goodman, M. C. - Nature Physics

Neutrinos were assumed to be massless particles until the discovery of the neutrino oscillation process. This phenomenon indicates that the neutrinos have non-zero masses and the mass eigenstates (nu(1), nu(2), nu(3)) are mixtures of their flavour eigenstates (nu(e), nu(mu), nu(tau)). The oscillations between different flavour eigenstates are described by three mixing angles (theta(12), theta(23), theta(13)), two differences of the squared neutrino masses of the nu(2)/nu(1) and nu(3)/nu(1) pairs and a charge conjugation parity symmetry violating phase delta(CP). The Double Chooz experiment, located near the Chooz Electricite de France reactors, measures the oscillation parameter theta(13) using reactor neutrinos. Here, the Doublemore »« less

Background-independent measurement of θ 13 in Double Chooz

Journal Article Abe, Y. ; dos Anjos, J. C. ; Barriere, J. C. ; ... - Physics Letters. B

The oscillation results published by the Double Chooz Collaboration in 2011 and 2012 rely on background models substantiated by reactor-on data. In this analysis, we present a background-model-independent measurement of the mixing angle θ₁₃ by including 7.53 days of reactor-off data. A global fit of the observed antineutrino rates for different reactor power conditions is performed, yielding a measurement of both θ₁₃ and the total background rate. The results on the mixing angle are improved significantly by including the reactor-off data in the fit, as it provides a direct measurement of the total background rate.

First Measurement of θ₁₃ From Delayed Neutron Capture on Hydrogen in the Double Chooz Experiment

Journal Article Abe, Y. ; Aberle, C. ; dos Anjos, J. C. ; ... - Physics Letters B

The Double Chooz experiment has determined the value of the neutrino oscillation parameter θ₁₃ from an analysis of inverse beta decay interactions with neutron capture on hydrogen. The analysis presented here uses a three times larger fiducial volume than the standard Double Chooz assessment, which is restricted to a region doped with gadolinium (Gd), yielding an exposure of 113.1 GW-ton-years. The data sample used in this analysis is distinct from that of the Gd analysis, and the systematic uncertainties are also largely independent, with some exceptions, such as the reactor neutrino flux prediction.

Latest results from Double Chooz

Journal Article Minotti, A., E-mail: alessandro.minotti@iphc.cnrs.fr - Physics of Particles and Nuclei

Double Chooz is a short-baseline neutrino disappearance experiment. It detects ν̄{sub e }produced in the power plant of Chooz, France, where is located. The main goal of the experiment is the measurement of θ{sub 13} mixing angle and in 2011 for the first time the experiment observed an indication for a non zero value of such an oscillation parameter. The mixing angle was successively measured using only the far detector finding the best fit value of sin{sup 2}(2θ{sub 13}) = 0.090{sup +0.032}{sub −0.029} . The near detector is under construction and will start data taking by the middle of 2014more »« less
