Camera Readout and Barium Tagging (CRAB) for Neutrinoless Double Beta Decay

The current landscape of neutrinoless double beta decay features high precision experiments that, when constructed, will be capable of probing the inverted ordering phase space of neutrinoless double beta decay. In this talk, I will present new technological developments in the NEXT collaboration that will enable high pressure Xenon TPC technologies to become essentially background free at the largest scales, opening the door to beyond-ton-scale experiments that could probe the normal ordering. I will present the current R&D to enable this, including Optical readout of TPCs, next-generation light collection technology, and incorporation of barium tagging technology into a neutrinoless double beta decay detector.
