Scholar-generated biography
Thomas Brunner is a nuclear physicist specializing in neutrino physics and related experimental techniques. His research focuses on neutrinoless double-beta decay, a process that could reveal whether neutrinos are their own antiparticles. He has contributed to experiments such as EXO-200 and nEXO, which aim to detect this rare decay and improve sensitivity to neutrino properties. His work also includes precision mass measurements of neutron-rich isotopes and the development of advanced detector technologies, such as liquid xenon and ion trap systems. These efforts are critical for understanding neutrino mass, oscillations, and their role in astrophysical phenomena.
