The NEXT (Neutrino Experiment with a Xenon TPC) collaboration employs electroluminescent xenon gas TPCs (Time Projection Chambers) to search for neutrinoless double beta decay in 136Xe. We report on recent developments, including results from the NEXT-100 detector installed in the Canfranc Underground Laboratory (LSC). We also discuss current and future efforts within the context of the...
Multigap glass Resistive Plate Chambers (RPC) developed at LIP Coimbra form the basis of an ongoing detector R&D programme focused on precise timing, robust operation, and scalable system architectures. These chambers are exploited in the miniTRASGO detector, a compact telescope operated in collaboration with Universidad Complutense de Madrid that measured continuously as a cosmic-ray muon...
With the advent of modern facilities dedicated to radioactive beam production, Active Target Time Projection Chambers have become key instruments for nuclear spectroscopy studies. These detectors provide unprecedented luminosity, enabling direct reaction measurements with beam intensities as low as a few hundred particles per second. The IGFAE, at the University of Santiago de Compostela, is...
