The Majorana experiment: an ultra-low background search for neutrinoless double-beta decay

D. G. Phillips, E. Aguayo, F. T. Avignone +86

The observation of neutrinoless double-beta decay would resolve the Majorana nature of the neutrino and could provide information on the absolute scale of the neutrino mass. The in…
