Description

The COBRA experiment aims to use a large array of CdZnTe semiconductor detectors to search for neutrinoless double beta decay. The COBRA collaboration are currently operating a small proto-type array of crystals in a low-background environment. This paper presents the current status of the experiment, results from current and previous proto-types and future prospects for COBRA
