The detector possesses two features of great value for 0¿ßß searches: energy resolution better than 1% FWHM at the Q value of 136Xe 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 0¿ßß-decay half-life of 2.8 × 1025 years (90% CL) for an exposure of 100 kg·year, or 6.0 × 1025 years after a run of 3 effective years. info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/MINECO/FIS2014-53371-C04 info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/MINECO/Consolider-Ingenio-2010/CSD2008-00037 info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/EC/FP7/339787/EU/Towards the NEXT generation of bb0nu experimets/NEXT info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess by http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/es/ 6.063 2016 PHYSICS, PARTICLES & FIELDS 3 / 29 = 0.103 2016 Q1 T1 1.163 2016 Nuclear and High Energy Physics 2016 Q1 info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion Martín-Albo, J.
