Double Chooz

Double Chooz is a scientific experiment in France designed to study neutrinos, tiny particles produced by nuclear reactors. It aims to measure a specific property called the "mixing angle" that describes how neutrinos change types as they travel. The experiment uses large underground detectors filled with special liquids to observe neutrinos emitted from nearby reactors. By comparing the neutrino signals at two locations, Double Chooz provides precise data to improve our understanding of neutrino behavior, which is important for fundamental physics and understanding the universe’s fundamental particles.
