* "Observation of Two-Neutrino Double Beta Decay in 136Xe with EXO-200"*

Abstract:
Neutrinos are all around us, yet many of their properties remain a 
mystery.  The study of neutrinoless double beta decay can shed light on 
the properties of neutrino mass and whether or not the neutrino is its 
own anti-particle.  In addition, because neutrinoless double beta decay 
violates lepton number conservation, its discovery would lead the way to 
physics beyond the standard model.  The Enriched Xenon Observatory (EXO) 
program is aimed at searching for this decay in Xe-136.  I will discuss 
the recent results from EXO-200 which has observed the two-neutrino 
double beta decay process for the first time in Xe-136 - the slowest 
directly-measured nuclear process to date!
