The EXO-200 Collaboration searched for neutrinoless double beta decay ($0\nu\beta\beta$) using a liquid xenon time projection chamber filled with ~150 kg of enriched $^{136}$Xe from September 2011 to December 2018. The use of a multi-dimensional analysis including calorimetric, spatial and topological information for the events allowed EXO-200 to perform one of the most sensitive searches for...

Finding evidence of neutrinoless double beta decay would reveal the Majorana nature of the neutrino and give insight into the origins of the matter-antimatter asymmetry in the universe, the smallness of neutrino mass, and the symmetry structure of the Standard Model. The NEXT collaboration is developing a sequence of high pressure xenon gas time projection chambers with the aim of creating a...

SNO+ is a kilo-tonne scale low background neutrino detector with the primary goal of searching for neutrinoless double beta decay ($0\nu\beta\beta$). The experiment's target volume is currently filled with liquid scintillator, providing the scope for background characterisation as well as measurement of reactor, geo, and low-energy solar neutrinos. The scintillator will be loaded with natural...

A discovery of neutrinoless double beta decay (0νββ) would establish that neutrinos are their own antiparticles, prove total lepton number violation, and provide a mechanism for generating non-zero neutrino masses. The MAJORANA DEMONSTRATOR experiment searches for 0νββ in $^{76}$Ge with two shielded modules of high purity germanium (HPGe) detectors, ~30 kg of which are enriched to 88% in...
