22-06-2012: Colloquium Giorgio Gratta (Stanford University)

22 juni 2012

Friday 22 June, 11:00h, at Nikhef in H331

Speaker: Giorgio Gratta (Stanford University)

Title: The EXO double-beta decay program

Abstract:
I will present new results from the EXO-200 experiment that has been taking low background data for a first year and plans to run for up to 5 years. EXO-200 discovered the 2 neutrino double-beta decay in 136Xe in the first 2 months of operation and is now attacking the more interesting neutrinoless double beta decay mode. I will also discuss the R&D for a future, larger detector and the plans towards the construction of such a detector.
