The SuperNEMO experiment is being designed to search for neutrinoless double beta decay to test if neutrinos are Majorana particles. The experimental technique follows that of the currently running NEMO-3 experiment, which successfully combines tracking and calorimetry to measure the topology and energy of the final state electrons. Unique particle identification capabilities of SuperNEMO will be employed with about 100 kg of 82 Se and will reach sensitivity to a half-life of about 2 x 10^26 years, which corresponds to Majorana neutrino masses of about 50 meV, depending on the calculated value of the nuclear matrix element. In this poster, the current status of the SuperNEMO project is presented.
