Double Chooz: Status of calibration program

Double Chooz is the first of the several new reactor anti- neutrino experiments to start data-taking. Once the detector is fully commissioned, the experiment is expected to surpass the limit on the neutrino mixing angle \(\theta_{13}\) established by its predecessor, the Chooz experiment. After summarizing the overall status of the experiment, we describe the calibration program planned for the first phase of the experiment, the motivation behind it, and the status of its implementation
