Abstract

In order to search for neutrinoless double beta-decay, the DCBA (Drift Chamber Beta-ray Analyzer) experiment uses a momentum analyzer, which mainly consists of drift chamber and a uniform magnetic field. A beta ray from a source plate make helical trajectory in the drift chamber owing to the magnetic field. Momentum of each beta ray is obtained by three-dimensional track reconstruction. A test prototype called DCBA-T2 has been constructed and operated at KEK. Another prototype DCBA-T3 is also under construction to improve the energy resolution. The results of DCBA-T2 engineering run are described together with the status of DCBA-T3.
