The Neutrino Experiment with a Xenon TPC (NEXT) searches for the neutrinoless double-beta decay of Xe-136 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 neutrinoless double-beta decay decay better than 1E27 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.

  1. ITACA revisited: Ion Tracking Apparatus with CMOS ASICs

    physics.ins-det 2026-04 unverdicted novelty 7.0

    ITACA is a conceptual HPXeEL TPC with MARS-positioned Topmetal CMOS ion detector for real-time 3D ion tracking, projecting sensitivity to 0νββ half-lives above 10^28 years.

  2. Statistical sensitivity of neutrinoless double-beta decay exchange mechanism discrimination by tracking experiments

    hep-ph 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 5.0

    Tracking detectors achieve 1σ mechanism discrimination in neutrinoless double-beta decay with a few events and 3σ with roughly 10 events, rising to about 25 events under realistic reconstruction uncertainties.
