Speaker

Dr Benjamin Jones (UTA)

Description

In this talk I will review the detection technologies which use 136Xe to search for double beta decay. I will discuss liquid and gas TPCs, as well as liquid scintillator/xenon experiments, and briefly review their benefits and challenges of each. A focus will be given to ongoing R&D by double beta decay collaborations as they strive to develop a ton-scale-capable technology.
