Résumé
The search for neutrino-less double beta decay is widely seen as a unique way to probe physics at energy scales far beyond the reach of accelerator techniques. If this process exists it is extremely rare, calling for very special detection techniques and careful attention to low levels of background radioactivity. This application is to support a search for this decay mode in xenon using a novelle detection technique.
