| Abstract: | Observation of neutrinoless double beta decay would provide evidence for the Majorana nature of the neutrino and allow measurement of the absolute neutrino mass scale. EXO-200 is currently running, looking for this process in liquid xenon enriched in isotope 136. I will present the latest results from 32.5 kg yr of exposure, yielding a limit on the half life for neutrinoless double beta decay of greater than 1.6x10^25 years (90% CL). |
| Speaker: | Steven Herrin - SLAC
 Steve Herrin obtained his B.S. in physics from Rice University in 2007. There, he was awarded the Heaps Prize for excellence in research, based on data analysis performed for the D0 experiment over several years, including an REU at the University of Washington. He is now a Ph.D. candidate at Stanford University, where he works on the
EXO-200 experiment.
