Double Beta Decay - Parallel I
- Ryan MacLellan (University of Kentucky)
The discovery of neutrinoless double beta decay (0νββ) would shed light on the persistent puzzle surrounding the origin of neutrino mass and help explain the matter-dominated universe. As one of the leading experiments searching for 0νββ, the KamLAND-Zen experiment has provided a stringent constraint on the neutrinoless double-beta(0νββ) decay half-life in 136Xe using a xenon-loaded liquid...
The Cryogenic Underground Observatory for Rare Events (CUORE) is the first bolometric experiment searching for 0νββ decay that has been able to reach the one-tonne mass scale. The detector, located at the LNGS in Italy, consists of an array of 988 TeO2 crystals arranged in a compact cylindrical structure of 19 towers. CUORE began its first physics data run in 2017 at a base temperature of...
AMoRE (Advanced Mo-based Rare process Experiment) is an international collaboration searching for the neutrinoless double-beta decay of 100Mo using molybdate scintillating crystal with metallic magnetic calorimeters as low-temperature sensors. AMoRE-I, as the second phase experiment, has been installed at the Yangyang underground laboratory (Y2L) and accumulates the data under radon reduced...
Neutrinoless double beta decay (0$\nu \beta \beta $) is a rare decay process and is considered as the most promising way to prove the Majorana nature of neutrinos, that is neutrinos are their own antiparticles. The Large Enriched Germanium Experiment for Neutrinoless Double Beta Decay (LEGEND) aims to build a phased $^{\mathrm{76}}$Ge-based 0$\nu \beta \beta $ decay experimental program with...
The study of scintillation light yield from liquid argon is interesting for many nuclear and particle physics experiments. Doping a few amounts of xenon in liquid argon could significantly shift the wavelength of scintillation light, time profile, and increase yield of the scintillation light. The measurement will be performed using BACoN system at the University of New Mexico. It consists of...
