Description

nEXO is a planned ton-scale search for the neutrinoless double beta decay of 136Xe. nEXO intends to use 5000 kg of isotopically enriched liquid xenon as source and detector. In this talk I will discuss the approach nEXO has chosen to estimate, control and manage the experiment background, a subject important for all double beta decay experiments.
