The Large Enriched Germanium Experiment for Neutrinoless Double Beta Decay (LEGEND)

LEGEND Collaboration, N. Abgrall, A. Abramov +230

The observation of neutrinoless double-beta decay (0) would show that lepton number is violated, reveal that neutrinos are Majorana particles, and provide information on neutr…
