A xenon time projection chamber for double β decay

  • 1. California Inst. of Tech., Pasadena (USA)

Description

A xenon time projection chamber for the study of double β decay of 136Xe is described. With an active volume of 207 liters of enriched 136Xe gas at 5 atm, this TPC should be capable of detecting neutrinoless double β decay with half-lives of up to 1024 y, and thus should uncover neutrinos if their mass is greater than 0.5 eV. 16 refs.; 6 figs
