Abstract: | The Neutrino Experiment with a Xenon TPC (NEXT) searches for the neutrinoless
double-beta (0 ) decay of 136Xe using high-pressure xenon gas TPCs with electroluminescent
amplification. A scaled-up version of this technology with about 1 tonne of
enriched xenon could reach in less than 5 years of operation a sensitivity to the half-life of
0 decay better than 1027 years, improving the current limits by at least one order of
magnitude. This prediction is based on a well-understood background model dominated by
radiogenic sources. The detector concept presented here represents a first step on a compelling
path towards sensitivity to the parameter space defined by the inverted ordering of
neutrino masses, and beyond. |
