EXO Update

Tim Daniels, UMass, Physics

The EXO-200 project aims to study double beta-decay in 136Xe using 200 kg of enriched isotope in a liquid Xe time-projection chamber (TPC). Commissioning of the cryogenic systems is currently underway at the Waste Isolation Pilot Plant near Carlsbad, NM, in preparation for the installation of the TPC. I'll give an overview of those systems and discuss the progress so far.
