Construction and commissioning of the tracker module for the SuperNEMO experiment
Original language description
The SuperNEMO experiment will search for neutrinoless double-beta decay in the Modane Underground Laboratory. This decay mode, if observed, confirms that neutrinos are Majorana fermions. It would be a new lepton violating process, and would provide a measurement of the absolute neutrino mass. The SuperNEMO experiment is designed to reach a half-life sensitivity of 10(26) years corresponding to an effective Majorana neutrino mass of 50-100 meV. The SuperNEMO demonstrator module is the first stage of the experiment, containing 7kg of Se-82, with an expected sensitivity of T-1/2 (0 nu) > 6.5x10(24) y after 2.5 years. Full topological event reconstruction is achieved through the use of a wire tracker operating in Geiger mode combined with scintillator calorimeter modules. Construction of the demonstrator module is well underway. We present the design of the tracker, and the current status of the construction and commissioning efforts.
