Abstract. This final article about the CHOOZ experiment presents a complete description of the $\bar{\nu}_e$ source and detector, the calibration methods and stability checks, the event reconstruction procedures and the Monte Carlo simulation. The data analysis, systematic effects and the methods used to reach our conclusions are fully discussed. Some new remarks are presented on the deduction of the confidence limits and on the correct treatment of systematic errors.

• Neutrino Oscillations and Non-standard Interactions (2017, background): “Indeed, the only available information about the reactor angle was an upper-bound obtained from the non-observation of antineutrino disappearance at the CHOOZ and Palo Verde reactor experiments [60, 61], sin(2) θ13 < 0.”
• Three-flavour neutrino oscillation update (2008, methodology): “e bound on θ 13 emerges from an interplay of different data sets, as illustrated in the left panel of Fig. 3. An important contribution to the bound comes, of course, from the CHOOZ reactor experiment [6] combined with the determination of |∆m2 31| from atmospheric and long-baseline experiments. Due ”

• New results on νμ → ντ appearance with the OPERA experiment in the CNGS beam (2013, background): “The fact that the νμ → νe oscillation could not be the dominant reason of the deficit of νμ was also established by the measurement of atmospheric νe rates and confirmed by nuclear reactor experiments at short baselines [25, 26] in the late nineties.”
