Description

NEXT 100 is a neutrinoless double beta decay search experiment scheduled for installation at the Laboratorio Subterrneo de Canfranc (LSC) in 2013. The NEXT 100 detector is a Time Projection Chamber (TPC) utilizing the default technology solution of a electroluminescence signal amplification. NEXT 1 EL is an important milestone in the development of NEXT 100 which aims to demonstrate large size EL amplification and long track drift in 10 bar pressure Xe gas.
