6. Fast Timing capabilities of CeBrA and Auxiliary Detectors

Alex Conley (Florida State University)

Oral presentation

The fast and high efficiency CeBr$_3$ scintillators detectors of the CeBr$_3$ Array (CeBrA) located at the John D. Fox Superconducting Linear Accelerator Laboratory at Florida State University (FSU) are designed for fast-timing spectroscopy in nuclear structure studies. This work presents the fast-timing capabilities of CeBrA in three key experimental configurations: $\gamma$-$\gamma$...

1. Unlocking the Nuclear Matrix Elements of Neutrinoless Double-Beta Decay: A Novel Experimental Approach

Jose Javier Valiente Dobon (IFIC-CSIC)

Oral presentation

The search for the detection of neutrinoless double-beta (0νββ) decay is one of the main experimental challenges in particle and nuclear physics. Its measurement has the potential to demonstrate that neutrinos are their own antiparticles, reveal matter-antimatter asymmetry, and provide insights into absolute neutrino mass. Despite extensive experimental efforts using various isotopes, 0νββ...
