Description
Precise measurement of the neutrino mixing angle theta13 is the primary goal
of the Double Chooz Experiment. Inverse beta decay process provides a unique
signature of anti-neutrino interaction from the reactors, giving prompt
signals from positron annihilation and delayed signals from neutron capture
by either Gadolinium (Gd) or Hydrogen (H). In this talk, the latest Gd- and
H-based analysis results from Double Chooz will be presented, including the
detection efficiency evaluation, background estimates, energy calibration
and oscillation results. Furthermore, the potential for sterile neutrino search will be shown.
