Resonance Ionization SpectroscopySingle-atom detectionnEXO is a 5-ton liquid enriched-xenon time projection chamber (TPC) to search for neutrinoless double-beta decay, designed to have the sensitivity to completely probe the inverted mass hierarchy of Majorana neutrinos. The detector will accommodate—...
Double-β-decay involves the simultaneous conversion of two neutrons into two protons, and the emission of two electrons and two neutrinos; the neutrinoless process, although not yet observed, is thought to involve the emission of the two electrons but no neutrinos. The search for neutrinoless-do...

Neutrinoless double beta decay (0νββ) is a rare second-order process that, if observed, would confirm that neutrinos are Majorana fermions. This process violates the conservation of lepton number and hence would provide yet another indication of physics beyond the Standard Model (SM). EXO-...
nEXO is a proposed single-phase time projection chamber with 5 tons of liquid xenon (enriched \\(\\sim \\) 90 \\(\\%\\) in \\(^{136}\\) Xe) to search for neutrinoless double beta decay of \\(^{136}\\) Xe. At the top of a cylindrical TPC, charge is collected by silica ...
double beta decayTPCxenonThe nEXO experiment is double beta decay study experiment and the successor of a very successful EXO-200 experiment. The main goal is to search for neutrinoless double-beta decay ( 2 β 0 ν 2\\beta 0u ) mode of 136 {}^{136} Xe isotope. 2 β 0 ν 2\\...
One of the experimentally accessible processes to probe this is the search for a rare type of radioactive decay called neutrinoless double beta decay (0νββ). This form of decay is only possible if neutrinos are Majorana fermions, and present results have shown that if the decay occurs, ...
