EXO: A Next Generation Double Beta Decay Experiment

Technical Report ·
DOI:https://doi.org/10.2172/839965· OSTI ID:839965

The Enriched Xenon Observatory (EXO) is an experiment designed to search for the neutrinoless double beta decay {sup 136}Xe {yields} {sup 136}Ba{sup 2}e{sup -}e{sup -}. To dramatically reduce radioactive backgrounds, the EXO collaboration proposes to tag the final state barium ion event-by-event through its unique atomic spectroscopy. We describe here the current status of the EXO R&D effort.
