Improve statistics Large target volume Longer stable operation
Improve systematics Better detector design
Low BG PMT/materialBuffer oil/Gamma catcher Improved Cosmic-Veto detectors
Phase 1:Far Detector Only Phase 2:Far + Near Detector
Better understand of Background and Energy scale is important for the further reduction of systematic errors

Due to the different overburden, BG is not fully canceled.
Better understand of BG reduces sys. errors. (To be measured within a few tens of percent If we can take ~a few weeks reactor OFF data.)

Summary for Double Chooz • The Double Chooz experiment
– Double Chooz will be the first of a new generation of reactor neutrino experiments. It is the one of the best experimental concept to measure 13
• The status of DoubleChooz Experiment– Detector Construction are close to the final stages.
• Installation of DAQ/Electronics starts in the next week.• Filling of Liquid Scintillator follows.
– We should observe the neutrino from reactor in this year!– Construction of the near site/detector will be started soon.
• Prospects for the future– First data taking expected to start in 2010 with far detector only ⇒sin2(213) < 0.06 in 1.5 year – From year 2011~, take data with the both near and far detectors ⇒sin2(213) < 0.03 in 3 years
