Double beta decay is back at LSC!
This week, the NEXT-NEW experiment started their Run V, the first run with enriched Xenon (90% 136Xe). The experiment is already accumulating double beta decay events, which will be separated from the background noise. Also, the CROSS collaboration started the construction of the lead shielding which will host the [...]
