Description
In 2011, Double Chooz became the first reactor-based experiment to indicate a nonzero value of the neutrino mixing parameter $\theta_{13}$. This observation was made with a single detector located approximately 1 km from the two cores of the Chooz Nuclear Power Plant in northeastern France. Since then, the Double Chooz collaboration has increased the precision of its single-detector $\theta_{13}$ measurements through a variety of novel techniques. Now, as the newly commissioned near detector takes its first data, we can begin to suppress the reactor flux uncertainty which dominated previous analyses. We will report the most recent Double Chooz results, projected future precision for $\theta_{13}$, and prospects for additional physics measurements.
