Abstract
Neutrinoless double-beta decay is a uniquely sensitive probe of lepton number violating processes, and its observation may answer fundamental questions in neutrino physics, including the nature and the mass scale of the light neutrinos. Tracking calorimeter experiments have particular strengths, including the ability to search for neutrinoless double-beta decay amongst several different isotopes hosted in source foils. Full event reconstruction provides powerful background rejection capability, and the ability to disentangle different mechanisms for neutrinoless double-beta decay in the event of its discovery. These proceedings will give the latest results from the NEMO-3 experiment, including new double-beta decay measurements using the isotopes 48Ca and 150Nd. The current status and future prospects for the SuperNEMO experiment will also be presented.
