WL 204
Experiments
Project 8
Science goal: Utilize a novel technique (CRES) to perform a precision measurement of the yet unknown neutrino mass.
Group involvement: The Heeger group performs R&D on antenna and cavity prototypes; develops algorithms for event reconstruction and analysis; and performs simulations to optimize the detector resolution.
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. Heeger and Reina Maruyama are CO-PIs of CUORE & CUPID.
