Description
Scaling neutrinoless double beta decay experiments to the 100 ton or kiloton scale seems most plausible, at least from an instrumentation point of view, if we aim for a large TPC. However, the lack of a xenon supply chain is a bottleneck. In this talk, we will discuss possible alternatives TPC gases, including SeF6 efforts, and our efforts to identify alternative non-electronegative gases. We will suggest some novel TPC readouts and operating modes that might let us work around gain and drift problems in oddball gases.
