Event Classification in Liquid Scintillator Using PMT Hit Patterns for Neutrinoless Double Beta Decay Searches

Event Classification in Liquid Scintillator Using PMT Hit Patterns for Neutrinoless Double Beta Decay Searches / by Jack Dunger.

The search for neutrinoless double beta decay is one of the highest priority areas in particle physics today; it could provide insights to the nature of neutrino masses (currently not explained by the Standard Model) as well as how the universe survived its early stages. One promising experimental a...
