Description
nEXO is currently in a research and development phase of a 5 tons detector for searching neutrinoless double beta decay of enriched Xe136. The nEXO detector is based on the successfully running EXO200, which has reached a sensitivity for the half life of the decay of 1.9 x 10^25 years with an exposure of 99.8 kgyr. The nEXO experiment will reach a half life sensitivity of > 5 x 10^27 years and cover the inverted neutrino mass hierarchy with 5 years of data. The nEXO detector design, the current R&D, and the physics case for the experiment will be presented in this talk.
