The LEGEND experimental program is dedicated to the search for the neutrinoless double-beta (0νββ) decay of 76Ge with isotopically-enriched high-purity germanium (HPGe) detectors and a discovery sensitivity beyond a half-life of 1028 years. The first phase of the project, LEGEND-200, is stably accumulating physics data at LNGS since more than one year with 140 kg of HPGe detectors, and plans...
KamLAND-Zen is a double beta decay experiment that exploits the existing KamLAND neutrino detector which realizes an ultra-low background environment. The xenon-loaded liquid scintillator in a spherical nylon balloon was deployed at the center of the KamLAND detector. The first search for neutrinoless double-beta decay of 136Xe with 381 kg of xenon (KamLAND-Zen 400) demonstrated excellent...
The CUORE (Cryogenic Underground Observatory for Rare Events) experiment is one of the most sensitive probes to date of the fundamental nature of neutrinos.
CUORE is located deep underground in the Laboratori Nazionali del Gran Sasso (LNGS) in Italy, allowing for a sensitive search for neutrinoless double beta decay (0νββ) and other rare processes.
CUORE searches for 0νββ in Te-130 and...
