Description
The SuperNEMO demonstrator, which is the first module of the SuperNEMO experiment,
is looking for the neutrinoless double beta decay 0$\nu\beta\beta$ in order to
unveil the nature of the neutrino. Its unique design, combining both tracking and
calorimetry techniques, provides essential topological information. Indeed,
fully reconstructing the event kinematics gives access to a variety of event
topologies which can be used to measure the different background contributions
as well as look for new processes such as the double beta decays to the excited
states of the daughter nuclei. Using a multivariate analysis to take advantage
of these informations can improve the background discrimination and further
increase the detector sensitivity. The commissioning of the demonstrator is
ongoing and the data taking should start in the Summer of 2017.
