SUMMARY:Neutrinoless Double Beta Decay at SNO+ - Jack Dunger (QMUL)

DESCRIPTION:The neutrino mass is the only laboratory measurement that viol
 ates the Standard Model and it is one of our best bets for a glimpse of th
 e physics that lies beyond it. In particular\, it leads naturally to the p
 ossibility that the neutrino is a Majorana particle. Equal to their anti-p
 artners\, Majorana neutrinos could explain the neutrino mass scale and the
  matter-antimatter asymmetry in today's universe.  For answering this pres
 sing question\, our only handle is the observation of neutrinoless double 
 beta decays (0vbb).\n\nCurrently taking background water data\, the SNO+ e
 xperiment aims for world leading 0vbb sensitivity using 1.3 tonne of Te130
  loaded into a kilotonne scale liquid scintillator detector.  Here we revi
 ew the experiment's progress and sensitivity\, making the case for Te130 a
 nd large liquid scintillator experiments for probing the inverted hierarch
 y and beyond.
