Purpose of the experiments 2 out of 3 Oscilltions have been confirmed. KamLAND Solar experimens SuperKamikande K2K, MINOS e Purpose: To find out the 3rd oscillation by Reactor FJPPL Suekane

Far Detector (L~1km) Reactors ~1.5km Near Detector (L<500m) Reactor 13 Experiment • Measure Disappearance at a distance 1~2km • Small Oscillation Amplitude • => Precise measurement is necessary • => 2 detectors to cancel systematics • => Underground to reduce cosmic-ray backgrounds FJPPL Suekane

Summary • * Now Japan and France projects have unified as • Double Chooz. • * Full proposal in 2006 (hep-ex/0606025) • * Material procurement underway • * 2007/08 is the DCHOOZ (Far det.) construction phase. • * The first data taking is expected to start in 2008 • and the first result is expected to come out in 2010.
