TL;DR: In this article, the authors present a complete description of the CHOOZ experiment, including the source and detector, the calibration methods and stability checks, the event reconstruction procedures and the Monte Carlo simulation.
Abstract: This final article about the CHOOZ experiment presents a complete description of the $\bar{ u}_e$ 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.
