Abstract
NEXT is a proposed 100-kg high-pressure xenon gas TPC that will search for neutrinoless double beta decay in 136Xe. Such a detector, thanks to its excellent energy resolution and its powerful background rejection provided by the distinct double beta decay topological signature, may become one of the leading experiments of the field. The project is proceeding through a fast research and development phase. The first prototypes, containing about 1 kg of pressurized xenon will be taking data in 2010, and the final detector, NEXT-100, is planned to run in late 2013 at the Laboratorio Subterráneo de Canfranc (LSC), Spain.
