description NEXT-100 is an electroluminescent high-pressure xenon gas time projection chamber that will search for the neutrinoless double beta decay of Xe-136. The detector possesses two features of great value in neutrinoless double beta decay searches: very good energy resolution (better than 1% FWHM at the Q value of Xe-136) and track reconstruction for the discrimination of signal and background events. This combination results in excellent sensitivity, as discussed in this paper. Detailed Monte Carlo detector simulations and material-screening measurements predict a background rate for NEXT-100 of at most 0.0004 counts/(keV kg yr). Accordingly, the detector will reach a sensitivity to the neutrinoless double beta decay half-life of 6.E25 years after running for 3 effective years.

The detector possesses two features of great value for 0νββ searches: energy resolution better than 1% FWHM at the Q value of$^{136}$Xe and track reconstruction for the discrimination of signal and background events. This combination results in excellent sensitivity, as discussed in this paper. Material-screening measurements and a detailed Monte Carlo detector simulation predict a background rate for NEXT-100 of at most 4 × 10$^{−4}$ counts keV$^{−1}$ kg$^{−1}$ yr$^{−1}$. Accordingly, the detector will reach a sensitivity to the 0νββ-decay half-life of 2.8 × 10$^{25}$ years (90% CL) for an exposure of 100 kg·year, or 6.0 × 10$^{25}$ years after a run of 3 effective years.NEXT-100 is an electroluminescent high-pressure xenon gas time projection chamber that will search for the neutrinoless double beta ($\beta \beta 0 \nu$) decay of Xe-136. The detector possesses two features of great value for $\beta \beta 0 \nu$ searches: energy resolution better than 1\% FWHM at the $Q$ value of Xe-136 and track reconstruction for the discrimination of signal and background events. This combination results in excellent sensitivity, as discussed in this paper.
