Abstract: (Elsevier)
Double Chooz is a neutrino oscillation experiment that will measure the last unknown mixing angle @q_1_3 or improve the current best limit by almost an order of magnitude. Its potential is a measurement at 3@s if sin^22@q_1_3>=0.05 or an exclusion down to 0.03 at 90% C.L. for @Dm_3_1^2=2.5x10^-^3eV^2. In this paper, the experimental concept, the detector design and status are reviewed. The read-out system is presented with focus on the Flash-ADCs capabilities.
