136Xe double beta decay observation with EXO{200

Research output: Contribution to conferencePaperpeer-review

Abstract

EXO-200 has begun taking data with enriched xenon. Without a fully optimized detector, analysis of a preliminary data set results in the first measurement of 136Xe double beta decay with a half-life of 2:11 ± 0:04(stat) ± 0:21(syst)×1021yr.
