Neutrinoless Double Beta Decay

CUORE & CUPID

Science goal: Search for neutrinoless double beta decay, which could answer why we live in a Universe of matter, not antimatter.

Group involvement: Yale is responsible for detector calibration, the study of cosmogenic backgrounds, double beta decay analysis, & the search for solar axions. Maruyama and Karsten Heeger are CO-PIs of CUORE & CUPID.
