Description
The discovery of Neutrinoless double beta decay (0νββ) would have profound implicaBons for
neutrino physics and cosmology. It would provide unambiguous evidence for the Majorana
nature of neutrinos, lepton number non-conservaBon and shed light into the absolute neutrino
mass scale. The Large Enriched Germanium Experiment for Neutrinoless ββ decay (LEGEND)
searches for 0νββ in the 76Ge isotope. The first phase of the experiment, LEGEND-200 has been
acquiring stable data with 142 kg of enriched germanium detectors over the last year. This talk
will discuss the first year of physics data from LEGEND-200. We will also present a brief
overview of the second phase of the experiment, LEGEND-1000.
