Description

After running the first apparatus from 2011 to 2015, KamLAND-Zen was able to set a world leading lower limit on half-life of 136Xe neutrinoless double beta decay to 1.07×10^26 years with 90% C.L. The second apparatus completed an upgrade to double the amount of 136Xe, and the data taking has begun recently. This operation is expected to continue for 5 years, looking for bigger and cleaner data of double beta decay. In this talk, the status of this upgrade and recent analysis will be introduced, and future prospects for the experiment will also be presented.
