Latest Results from NEMO-3 & Status of the SuperNEMO Experiment
2017
Neutrinoless double-beta decay is a uniquely sensitive probe of lepton number
violating processes, and its observation may answer fundamental questions in neutrino physics,
including the nature and the mass scale of the light neutrinos. Tracking calorimeter experiments
have particular strengths, including the ability to search for neutrinoless double-beta decay
amongst several different isotopes hosted in source foils. Full event reconstruction provides
powerful background rejection capability, and the ability to disentangle different mechanisms
for neutrinoless double-beta decay in the event of its discovery. These proceedings will give the
latest results from the NEMO-3 experiment, including new double-beta decay measurements
using the isotopes 48Ca and 150Nd. The current status and future prospects for the SuperNEMO
experiment will also be presented.
