Double-beta decay with the NEMO experiment: status of NEMO 3 detector

Creators

Description

The NEMO3 detector devoted to search for the neutrinoless double-beta decay is able to reach the sensitivity to (mν) of the order of 0.1 eV. The expected performance of the detector for signal detection and both internal and external background rejection are presented. A specific study of the neutron induced background is given. The NEMO collaboration is now mounting the detector in the Frejues underground laboratory

Abstract (Russian)

NEMO-3 детектор, созданный специально для изучения безнейтринного двойного бета-распада способен исследовать чувствительность к (mν) порядка 0.1 эВ. Представлен ожидаемый рабочий режим детектора для детектирования сигналов как внутреннего, так и внешнего. Дано специфическое изучение наведенного нейтроном шума. NEMO установка является теперь установкой детектора в подземной лаборатории Frejues
