TS4-2 Probing the nature of Neutrino (PPD Neutrino Physics and Beyond Symposium) / La nature du neutrino (Symposium PPD sur la physique du neutrino et au delà)
- David McKeen (TRIUMF)
Neutrinos present a portal into understanding some of the most significant puzzles of modern physics, even as the nature of the neutrino is still mysterious. SNO+ is well positioned to examine some of those puzzles. Located 2 km underground in the Vale Creighton mine in Sudbury at the international facility SNOLAB, SNO+ is the largest liquid scintillator neutrino detector currently in...
nEXO is a proposed next generation neutrinoless double beta decay experiment. The detector is a single-phase time projection chamber filled with 5 tonnes of liquid xenon enriched in {136}^Xe, designed for a half-life sensitivity of ~$10^{28}$ yr. Events in the detector will result in both ionization and scintillation signals, read out by separate electronic systems. Scaling up from the...
