Abstract

Experiments searching for neutrinoless double beta (0νββ) decay, have the capability to unveil the neutrinos mysteries: defining their absolute scale mass and establishing their nature (Dirac or Majorana particles). The LEGEND collaboration works to develop the largest 76Ge 0νββ decay experiment in history. The collaboration was born from the synergy of two collaborations, Gerda and Majorana, and additional institutes. The first phase of the experiment, called LEGEND-200, is under construction at LNGS of INFN: the experiment aims to reach a sensitivity on the half-life of 0νββ decay up to 1027 yr by operating about 200 kg of HPGe detectors within the upgraded Gerda infrastructure. The experimental setup and the LAr veto system used to actively suppress background events, will be summarized.
