the American Double-Beta Decay Program

The recent review of the US neutrino program by The Neutrino Science Advisory Group (NUSAG) concluded that high priority be given to start at least two zero-neutrino double-beta decay experiments. They recommended CUORE and Majorana be considered for construction, and EXO for further research and development of the technique to locate and identify the daughter 136Ba+ ion. Here we give brief very brief descriptions and status reports on these three proposed experiments.
