New Reactor Neutrino 13 Experiment
Lower background - Improved detector design - Increased overburden
CHOOZ : Rosc = 1.01 ± 2.8% (stat) ± 2.7% (syst)
Larger statistics - More powerful reactors (multi-core) - Larger detection volume - Longer exposure
Smaller experimental errors - Identical multi detectors
→ Obtain ~1% precision !!!
