VIRTUAL INPA SEMINAR | Zepeng Li (Yale University)
February 19, 2021 @ 12:00 pm - 1:00 pm
Speaker: Zepeng Li (Yale University)
Title: Search For Neutrinoless Double Beta Decay In Liquid Xenon TPC
Abstract:
Search for neutrinoless double beta decay is a direct tool to investigate the Majorana nature of the neutrinos and mechanism of neutrino mass generation. Discovery of neutrinoless double beta decay would be a direct indication of lepton number violation, and provide a portal to probe physics beyond the Standard Model. The nEXO experiment, built on the success of EXO-200 experiment, will search for neutrinoless double beta decay of 136Xe using a large ultra-low background liquid xenon time projection chamber, nEXO has distinct advantages of good energy resolution, full 3-D reconstruction of energy depositions in the detector, and excellent self-shielding against external backgrounds, that will provide world-leading sensitivity to neutrinoless double beta decay. I will talk about the development of new experimental techniques for the nEXO experiment from both software and hardware perspectives.
