Chasing theta-13 with the Double Chooz experiment — •Thierry Lasserre — CEA/DSM/IRFU/SPP, 91191 Gif-s-Yvette, France

Neutrino oscillation physics is entering a precision measurement area. The smallness of the theta-13 neutrino mixing angle is still enigmatic and should be resolved. Double Chooz will use two identical detectors near the Chooz nuclear power station to search for a non vanishing theta-13, and hopefully open the way to experiments aspiring to discover CP violation in the leptonic sector.
