Abstract:
Search for neutrinoless double beta decay is a direct tool to investigate the Majorana nature of the
neutrinos. Discovery of neutrinoless double beta decay would have important implications for neutrino
mass generation. It would also be a direct indication of lepton number violation, and provide a portal
to probe physics beyond the SM. The nEXO experiment, built on the success of EXO-200 experiment,
will search for neutrinoless double beta decay of 136Xe using a large ultra-low background liquid xenon
time projection chamber. The nEXO experiment has distinct advantages of good energy resolution, full
3-D reconstruction of energy depositions in the detector, and excellent self-shielding against external
backgrounds, that will provide world-leading sensitivity to neutrinoless double beta decay. I will talk
about the development of new experimental techniques for the nEXO experiment from both software
and hardware perspectives.
