Abstract

NEXT is a project to look for the neutrinoless double beta decay of 136Xe in the Canfranc Underground Laboratory (LSC) in the Spanish Pyrenees. The project is currently progressing through its R&D phase: the first big (1 kg) prototypes will be taking data in 2010, exploring different options for the readout. The goal of the project is to construct NEXT-100, which will hold 100 kg of pressurized Xe gas, planned to run in late 2013.
