Non-Accelerator-Based Neutrino Physics Parallel
The Enriched Xenon Observatory (EXO) is an experimental program, which aims to perform the most sensitive search for neutrinoless double beta decay using 136Xe. Such a search can shed light on the Majorana nature of the neutrino (whether the neutrino is its own anti-particle), the absolute mass scale of neutrinos, and beyond standard model processes that violate lepton number conservation. ...

Non-Accelerator-Based Neutrino Physics Parallel
Neutrinoless double beta decay, a rare nuclear process, if found, would confirm the Majorana nature of neutrinos. Successful observation of neutrinoless double beta decay would require a detector with substantial amount of candidate isotope, as well as excellent energy resolution and extremely low background. The CUORE (Cryogenic Underground Observatory for Rare Events) experiment aims at...

Non-Accelerator-Based Neutrino Physics Parallel
The GERDA experiment is designed to search for the neutrinoless double beta decay of Ge-76, using an array of isotopically enriched high-purity germanium detectors, suspended in a liquid argon cryostat. Detection of the neutrinoless double-beta decay can potentially answer the question of the Majorana or Dirac nature of the neutrino and give access to the absolute neutrino mass...

Non-Accelerator-Based Neutrino Physics Parallel
NEXT (Neutrino Experiment with a Xenon TPC) is aimed to search for neutrinoless double beta decay with a high pressure xenon TPC. It is being built in the Underground Laboratory of Canfranc, in the Spanish Pyrenees and it is going to start commissioning in late 2013- beginning of 2014, after a successful R&D period developed with prototypes.
NEXT-100 is an electroluminescent, asymmetric TPC...
