Abstract
The possibilities of using NEMO techniques for future neutrinoless double-beta decay experiments are discussed. The main idea is to have a realistic program with planned sensitivity for half-life measurement on the level of ∼(1.5–2)×1026 yr (sensitivity to neutrino mass ∼0.04–0.1 eV). It is argued that this can be achieved using the improved NEMO technique to study 100 kg of 82Se. A possible scheme for a future SUPERNEMO detector and its main characteristics are presented. Such a detector can also be used to investigate 0νββ decay in 100Mo, 130Te, and 116Cd with a sensitivity of up to ∼(2–5)×1025 yr or with a sensitivity to neutrino mass of ∼0.04–0.26 eV.
