Stephen SekulaI am excited to be in Montreal for the next several days for the “Neutrinoless Double Beta Decay in #Xenon - Next Generation Experiment Workshop” hosted by McGill University.

Denoted “0νββ”, this ultra-rare process would only exist if the #neutrino is its own antiparticle. This would make it unique among its sibling particles … and provide a pathway to determination of the neutrino’s mass.
Neutrinoless double beta decay search in Xe - next-generation experiment workshop (12-14 November 2025) · Indico
The search for neutrinoless double beta decay, ideally in more than one isotope, has been identified as high priority by the international subatomic physics community. Over the past decades, significant advancements have been made in the development of xenon TPCs. Proposed next-generation experiments intend to deploy tonne(s) of the double beta decaying isotope Xe-136 and are expected to reach sensitivities in the mid-10^27 to 10^28 years range. The complexity of these experiments and the...
