The Potential of Hybrid Pixel Detectors in the Search for the Neutrinoless Double-Beta Decay of 116Cd

We investigated the potential of the energy resolving hybrid pixel detector Timepix contacted to a CdTe sensor layer for the search for the neutrinoless double-beta decay of Cd. We found that a CdTe sensor layer with 3 mm thickness and 165 μm pixel pitch is optimal with respect to the effective Majo...
