Abstract
An experiment has been planned to measure the half-life of two neutrino emission double beta decay for 96Zr nuclei. A newly designed 2ν-ZICOS detector will observe about 100 events of 96Zr double beta decay. The detector will use an ultra-pure quartz flask and 20 Hamamatsu H3378-50 photomultipliers in order to distinguish the signal shape of Cherenkov lights. The liquid scintillator containing 0.4 g of 96Zr will be filled in the ETFE cubic bag. The transparency of 50 μm thickness ETFE sheet for scintillation light was 97.5% at minimum. The constructions of a radiation shield using Pb blocks and 2ν-ZICOS detector will start in May 2024 at LAB-A in Kamioka mine, and the observation will starting in next summer or autumn at the latest.
