146. The NEXT experiment for neutrinoless double beta decay searches

Mr Jose Maria Benlloch-Rodriguez (IFIC (CSIC-UV))

Oral presentation in parallel session

The Neutrino Experiment with a Xenon TPC (NEXT) is an experiment to search for the neutrinoless double beta decay of 136Xe using a high pressure xenon gas time projection chamber. This detector technology has several key advantages, including excellent energy resolution, powerful event classification based on track topology, and favorable mass scalability. The current stage of the experiment,...

Oral presentation in parallel session

Neutrinoless double beta (0νββ) decay is a process in which a nucleus (A,Z) decays to (A,Z+2) with the emission of two electrons (but no neutrinos). Experimental searches for such a decay are the most sensitive test of lepton-number conservation and its discovery would unambiguously prove the Majorana nature of neutrinos, with profound implications for cosmology in addition to particle and...

411. Science Goals and Sensitivity of the nEXO Neutrinoless Double Beta Decay Experiment

Oral presentation in parallel session

Neutrinos have the unique possibility of being fundamental Majorana particles with far-reaching consequences for our understanding of particle physics beyond the Standard Model. The most promising approach to experimentally verifying the possible Majorana nature of neutrinos comes from searching for rare double beta decays in which no neutrinos are emitted. nEXO is a proposed ton-scale...

53. Prospects for neutrino-less double beta decay detection with the DARWIN experiment

Oral presentation in parallel session

DARk matter WImp search with liquid xenoN (DARWIN) will be a direct dark matter detection experiment using a multi-ton time projection chamber at its core. While DARWIN is designed to explore the entire experimentally accessible parameter space for WIMPs, the detector will also be sensitive to other rare interactions. One ambitious goal is the search for the neutrinoless double beta...
