Description
The upcoming wave of neutrinoless double beta decay (0νββ) experiments is geared towards probing the inverted mass ordering and transitioning into the normal ordering domains. We undertake a quantitative assessment of the projected experimental sensitivities, with a specific emphasis on the discovery potentials anticipated prior to the execution of experiments. We assess the sensitivity of the counting analysis using full Poisson statistics [1] and compared with its continuous approximation. The inclusion of additional measurable signatures such as energy can enhance sensitivity, and this is accounted for through a maximum likelihood analysis [2]. This study serves as an example to the generic problem of making sensitivity projections to proposed projects with predicted background prior to the experiments are performed.
