SUMMARY:Exploring Majorana landscape: the NEXT generation\, NPAC (Nucl
 ear/Particle/Astro/Cosmo) Forum\,  Juan José Gómez Cadenas\, IFI
 C - Instituto de Física Corpuscular\, Valencia\, Spain
DESCRIPTION:Neutrinos may be Majorana particles. If so\, neutrino less
  double beta decay processes could be observed by the next generation 
 of bb0nu experiments. I will briefly review the state of the art\, the
 n discuss one of the most promising ideas in the field\, the use of Hi
 ght Pressure Gas Xenon TPC (HPGXe) with electroluminescence gain and o
 ptical readout. A 100 kg incarnation of such a device will start opera
 tions at the Canfranc Underground Lab in Spain in late 2013 or early 2
 014. The technology can be extrapolated to 1 ton\, and thus lead the e
 xploration of the inverse hierarchy in Majorana landscape.
