EXO : the Enriched Xenon Observatory for Double Beta Decay
EXO is a search for neutrinoless double beta decay in 136 Xe. An active R&D program for a 10 ton, enriched 136 Xe liquid phase detector is now underway. Current research projects are: decay product extraction, Xe purity studies, energy resolution studies, and Ba+ ion laser-tagging. Half lives of up to 5.0x10 28 yr will be ultimately probed, corresponding to a sensitivity to Majorana neutrino ma...
متن کاملDouble Beta Decay: Theory, Experiment, and Implications
Double beta decay is a rare spontaneous nuclear transition in which the nuclear charge changes by two units while the mass number remains the same. It has been long recognized as a powerful tool to study lepton number conservation in general, and neutrino properties in particular. Since the lifetimes of double beta decays are so long, the experiments on double beta decay are very challenging an...
متن کاملCalorimeter R&D for the SuperNEMO Double Beta Decay Experiment
SuperNEMO is a next-generation double beta decay experiment based on the successful tracking plus calorimetry design approach of the NEMO3 [1] experiment currently running in the Laboratoire Souterrain de Modane (LSM). SuperNEMO can study a range of isotopes, the baseline isotopes are Se and possibly Nd. The total isotope mass will be 100– 200 kg. A sensitivity to a 0νββ half-life greater than ...
متن کاملDistribution and dynamic pathway of selenium species in selenium-deficient mice injected with (82)Se-enriched selenite.
In order to elucidate Se metabolism in a living body, (82)Se-enriched selenite was injected intravenously into mice fed Se-adequate and -deficient diets. We studied the time-dependent changes in the distribution of the labeled Se in organs, red blood cells, and plasma. The total Se was determined by flow-injection ICPMS, and Se speciation analysis was conducted by micro-affinity chromatography ...
متن کاملSuperNEMO – the next generation double beta decay experiment
The SuperNEMO experiment is being designed to search for neutrinoless double beta decay to test if neutrinos are Majorana particles. The experimental technique follows that of the currently running NEMO-3 experiment, which successfully combines tracking and calorimetry to measure the topology and energy of the final state electrons. Unique particle identification capabilities of SuperNEMO will ...
