Description

The LEGEND collaboration is operating the LEGEND-200 experiment at the Gran Sasso National Laboratory (LNGS) in Italy and is designing the LEGEND-1000 experiment for baseline deployment at LNGS with SNOLAB as a backup site. The experiment use high-purity enriched Ge-76 crystals in a direct search for neutrinoless double beta decay. The goal for LEGEND-200 is to be sensitive to a double beta decay half life of $10^{27}$ years; for LEGEND-1000, $10^{28}$ years, which will probe the inverted hierarchy space. Results from LEGEND-200 will be discussed as well as status and design preparations for LEGEND-1000.
