144David Sinclair with/avec A. Bellerive, M. Dixit, C. K. Hargrove,Jacques Farine, Doug Hallman & Clarence Virtue 6R & D for a Xenon Double Beta Decay experiementA grant of $165,000 per year for two years.Une subvention de 165 000 $ par année pour deux ans.Sub<strong>at</strong>omic Physics Project – Projet en physique sub<strong>at</strong>omiqueFrom the discoveries <strong>at</strong> SNO and Kamiokande, we know th<strong>at</strong> neutrinos –one of the most abundant particles in the universe – possess a small mass butwe do not know wh<strong>at</strong> the actual mass is. One method to determine the massis to observe a very rare process known as neutrino-less double beta decay.If such a process exists, it is directly sensitive to the neutrino mass but alsorequires special properties of the neutrinos. A study of this process wouldprovide critical inform<strong>at</strong>ion about the n<strong>at</strong>ure of fundamental particles. Observingthis process requires very exacting control of the various backgroundsources. This is an area where SNO has developed leading expertise.6 The names of the researchers from <strong>Laurentian</strong> <strong>University</strong> are shown in italics./Les noms des chercheurs de l’UniversitéLaurentienne sont en italiques.
