| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Search for neutrino-less double beta decay is one of the most important issues on elementary particle physics. We have mainly studied following in order to improve the sensitivity at the KamLAND-Zen experiment:
(1)establish of the high precision analysis method with new data-taking electronics (2)development of the new photo-sensor toward high sensitivity (3)study of light emitting film towards next generation of the Xe balloon
Finally, it was found by the simulation that we are able to search for effective neutrino mass up to about 40 meV by rejecting the balloon backgrounds with new balloon made the light emitting film.
