Required sensitivity in the search of neutrinoless double beta decay in 124Sn

Abstract

\textbf{T}he \textbf{IN}dia's \textbf{TIN} (TIN.TIN) detector is under development in the search for neutrinoless double-$\beta$ decay (0$\nu\beta\beta$) using 90\% enriched $^{124}$Sn isotope as the target mass. This detector will be housed in the upcoming underground facility of the \textbf{I}ndia based \textbf{N}eutrino \textbf{O}bservatory. We present the most important experimental parameters that would be used in the study of required sensitivity for the TIN.TIN experiment to probe the neutrino mass hierarchy. The sensitivity of the TIN.TIN detector in the presence of sole two neutrino double-$\beta$ decay (2$\nu\beta\beta$) decay background is studied at various energy resolutions. The most optimistic and pessimistic scenario to probe the neutrino mass hierarchy at 3$\sigma$ sensitivity level and 90\% C.L. is also discussed.
