Description
NEXT is an experiment aiming for the discovery of the neutrinoless double beta decay in 136Xe. Using a high-pressure TPC with electroluminescence amplification and a combination of PMTs and SiPMs as detection technologies, the energy resolution has been measured to be better than 1% FWHM @ Qbb with smaller prototypes. The underground operation of the latest prototype (NEW) has recently begun and the first calibration data taken since November provide excellent prospects for the future.
