2 with emulsions NEMO3 surface: 20 m2 Super-NEMO surface: 10x20 m2 M. Dracos 2 with emulsions NEMO3 surface: 20 m2 Super-NEMO surface: 10x20 m2 To cover the same isotope source surface with emulsions (both sides to detect the 2 electrons) we need an emulsion surface: 2x200=400 m2. Just for comparison, one OPERA emulsion has about 0.012 m2 and one brick 0.680 m2. So 400 m2 is about the equivalent of 600 OPERA bricks over 150000 (but not with the same thickness of course…). Use the same envelops like the OPERA changeable sheets by introducing at the middle of the two emulsions a double beta source sheet, or use longer emulsion sheets easier to handle by microscopes. Keep all these envelops for some time (e.g. 6-12 months depending on fading) in the experiment and after this period start scanning them one after the other. They could be replaced by new envelops during 5 years in order to accumulate something equivalent to what Super-NEMO could do: 400*5 year*m2 M. Dracos, CEA, 10/04/2008

M. Dracos 2 with emulsions How much time is needed to make a full scan of 2000 m2 (is a full scan in all volume really needed?)? If the Japanese S-UTS scanning system is used with a speed of 50 cm2/hour (be careful with thickness…), for one scanning table: 25 m2/year (200 working days/year). By using 16 tables and extracting 100 m2/3 months (1 year exposure at the beginning and putting back new emulsions with the same isotopes), this finally will take less than 5 years (as Super-NEMO). Probably the emulsion thickness needed to detect these electrons will need more scanning time and the speed would be significantly less than 50 cm2/h. On the other hand, scanning speed increases with time… 0.003 0.1 1.2 7.0 40 60 140 700 0.001 0.01 1 10 100 1000 cm 2 / h TS(1994) NTS(1996) UTS(1998) SUTS(2006) SUTS(2007-) Scanning Power Roadmap 1stage facility CHORUS DONUT OPERA Nakamura san Nufact07 M.

Pending questions Energy resolution for NEMO: 15% for 3 MeV electrons M. Dracos Pending questions Energy resolution for NEMO: 15% for 3 MeV electrons Required for Super-NEMO: lower than 7% (goal 4%) Emulsion experiment energy resolution: ??? (monoenergetic 1 MeV 207Bi electrons could be used to have a good estimate of this resolution) Reconstruction efficiency for NEMO: 15% Required for Super-NEMO: 40% Emulsion experiment reconstruction efficiency: ?? (here also a well calibrated 207Bi source or other sources could be used) Minimum electron energy (~1 MeV, 0.5 MeV for NEMO3?) Afforded background? Could magnetic field help (better momentum resolution or  rejection)? Possibility to take thinner isotope sheets (60 m for NEMO3) and have better energy resolution (but also more scanning for the same isotope mass). M. Dracos, CEA, 10/04/2008

M. Dracos Extra Ideas after discussion with Fuji engineers, all these ideas are possible! e e e e decreasing density (25 mm layers) emitter in powder (diluted in an emulsion layer) to minimize the emulsion thickness and better energy resolution at the end of the track better vertex and energy reconstruction ?
