Description
We present a new measurement of the neutrino oscillation parameter sin^2 2theta_{13} derived from two years of data taken with the Double Chooz far detector. This result, drawn from twice the data used in our previous gadolinium-based analysis, is the most precise Double Chooz measurement to date. Along with increased statistics, the analysis features an improved energy scale, reduced backgrounds, and a unique background constraint from reactor-off data. Additionally, we report the precision we expect to achieve when the Double Chooz near detector begins taking data within the next year.
