Abstract

The first results from Double Chooz with 100 days of data measured sin2(2θ13)=0.086±0.051\sin^2(2\theta_{13}) = 0.086 \pm 0.051. Backgrounds contribute significantly to the systematic uncertainty budget. Using the incoming neutrino directionality we will attempt to further separate the inverse beta decay signal from backgrounds. The CHOOZ experiment completed a similar analysis and found that the neutrino source can be located to within a cone of half-aperture of 18 degrees at the 68% C.L. We study the possible improvement of this result by Double Chooz.
