The SuperNEMO demonstrator double beta experiment
Original language description
The SuperNEMO experiment will study Se-82 to look for neutrinoless double beta decays (0 nu beta beta), proof of the Majorana nature of neutrinos. SuperNEMO inherits the tracking-calorimetry technique of NEMO-3, allowing for a clear determination of event kinematics, while aiming for an improved background suppression and 0 nu beta beta sensitivity. A demonstrator module is currently starting operation. The beta beta emitting source, similar to 7 kg of Se-82 in thin foils, is surrounded by a 0.5 meter long helium tracking chamber with 2000 Geiger cells. A 4 pi gamma catcher and electron calorimeter, made of plastic scintillators with an energy resolution of 7.8% (FWHM) at 1 MeV, surrounds the tracker. The ultra low radioactivity demonstrator is constructed and installed in the Modane Underground Laboratory in the Frejus Tunnel under the French-Italian Alps.
