Liquid argon time projection chambers have a pivotal role in many current and
future experiments studying neutrino properties with accelerator beams.
R&D efforts are focused on improving the performance of existing detectors and enabling the large increase in scale (x100) needed for the next generation of experiments.

In this talk I will review the detection technologies which use 136Xe to search for double beta decay. I will discuss liquid and gas TPCs, as well as liquid scintillator/xenon experiments, and briefly review their benefits and challenges of each. A focus will be given to ongoing R&D by double beta decay collaborations as they strive to develop a ton-scale-capable technology.

A new experiment search for the neutron electric dipole moment with a sensitivity of δdn ~ 3E-28 e-cm, two orders of magnitude improvement over the current limit, is being developed to be mounted at the Spallation Neutron Source at Oak Ridge National Laboratory. This new experiment, based on the idea put forward by Golub and Lamoreaux, will be performed in superfluid helium at 0.4 K. Ultracold...
