PandaX ( Particle and Astrophysical Xenon experiment), a large-scale liquid xenon dark matter detection project located at the China Jinping Underground Laboratory, has provided a high-sensitivity experimental platform for dark matter searches through the iterative development of three generations of detectors since its launch in 2009. It adopts the two-phase xenon time projection chamber...
As experiments searching for neutrinoless double beta decay with Xe136 are in the planning phase of a next generation with hopes to completely probe the inverted mass hierarchy, the need for reliable nuclear matrix elements, which govern the rate of this decay, is stronger than ever. Since a large discrepancy is found when computing this quantity with different nuclear models, a large unknown...

Searches for neutrinoless double-beta decay (0νββ) represent one of the most promising avenues for uncovering new frontiers in particle physics, particularly in understanding the true nature of the neutrino. The Neutrino Experiment with a Xenon TPC (NEXT) investigates 0νββ using a high-pressure Xenon time projection chamber. This technology offers excellent energy resolution and good imaging...
The AXEL (A Xenon ElectroLuminescence) experiment aims to search for neutrinoless double beta decay ($0\nu\beta\beta$) using a high-pressure xenon gas time projection chamber (TPC).
The detector features a unique ionization detection called the Electroluminescence Light Collection Cell (ELCC), which provides high energy resolution and topological information by converting ionization...
XLZD will feature a next-generation dual-phase liquid xenon (LXe) time projection chamber (TPC) with a 60–80 tonne active target. Building on the experience made with the LZ and XENONnT experiments, the detector scales the current technology by more than a factor of 10 in mass. This scale-up will enable searches for weakly interacting massive particles down to the neutrino fog, as well as...
PandaX-4T is one of the most sensitive liquid xenon detectors, achieving world leading results in dark matter and neutrino physics. The construction of its successor, the next-generation detector PandaX-20T, will start in the beginning of 2026. Over 22 tonnes of xenon will be utilized, resulting in a diameter of ~2m and a height of ~2.5m for the time projection chamber (TPC). The TPC will be...
The XLZD Collaboration is developing the next generation large low background xenon experiment with the aim to search for WIMP dark matter into the neutrino-fog. The proposed instrument also provides myriad scientific opportunities in neutrino physics; for instance the search for neutrinoless double beta decay and astrophysical neutrino phenomena. XLZD’s design is a $\ge 60$-tonne active...
The search for neutrinoless double‑beta decay (0νββ) remains one of the most compelling frontiers in contemporary physics, offering a unique path to uncovering the Majorana nature of neutrinos and potentially providing an avenue towards explaining the observed matter dominance in our Universe. One of the most compelling elements for this search is xenon-136, deployed in a time-projection...
