Abstract
The performance of two similar gas TPCs used in past low energy particle physics experiments are briefly described. The first was installed in the Gotthard underground laboratory to search for the neutrinoless double beta decay of 136Xe. The second, MUNU, was operated near the Bugey nuclear reactor to study v̄ee− → v̄ee− scattering. The advantages of the design are presented, along with the limitations. Ideas to improve the performance, for future experiments in low energy, low rate, particle physics are presented. The emphasis is put on the search for the neutrinoless double beta decay of 136Xe.
