摘要：Double Chooz is one of the reactor antineutrino experiments which aim to precisely measure the neutrino mixing angle theta13. By detecting inverse beta decay signals, Double Chooz can precisely identify the antineutrino events from this unique coincident signature. Since the delayed neutron can be captured by either gadolinium (nGd) or hydrogen (nH), two independent analyses can be implemented. In this seminar, both nGd and nH analyses will be introduced, as well as the oscillation results. In addition, other physics studies such as the light sterile neutrino search and the reactor flux investigation will be shown.
