Estimating the neutron background toward the measurement of neutrino mixing angle [theta][subscript]1[subscript]3 with the Double Chooz detector

Doctor of Philosophy === Department of Physics === Glenn Horton-Smith === Double Chooz is a reactor neutrino experiment which has shown evidence of electron anti-neutrino disappearance at 1 km distance. It has been able to exclude the no-oscillation hypothesis at 99.8% CL (2.9ς) with only one detect...
