SUMMARY:Boldly exploring the Majorana Landscape. The NEXT program for neutrinoless double beta decay searches
DESCRIPTION:Massive neutrinos could be Majorana particles\, identical to their own antiparticles. The only practical way of finding out if this possibility has been realised by Nature\, is observing a rare nuclear process\, called\nneutrinoless double beta decay (bb0nu). The best experiments of the field have established that the lifetime of bb0nu is longer than 10^26 years and current data suggest that at least two orders of magnitude more may be needed to observe a signal. This means \nthat the next generation of experiments will need exposures in the range of tens of ton year\, and even more crucially\, background rates approaching to zero.   \nIn this talk I will present the NEXT program for bb0nu searches.  I will review the current status of the experiment and will describe the R&D leading to future NEXT apparatus\, with target masses in the ton range\, which could be operating in the second half of this decade. I will also discuss how NEXT can implement a unique signal\, observing\, in (delayed) coincidence\, the two electrons and the Ba2+ dication produced in the decay Xe-136 -> Ba2+-136 + 2e (+ 2nu). The NEXT-BOLD project\, funded with an ERC Synergy grant is developing the R&D needed to boldly explore the Majorana Landscape. \n  \nJoin Zoom Meeting\nhttps://infn-it.zoom.us/j/89266806966?pwd=UlFuZ2w1SjBRSkhlSjEzdWJHaXZqQT09 \n  \nMeeting ID: 892 6680 6966\nPasscode: 843454 \n
