The nature of dark matter and properties of neutrinos are among the most pressing issues in contemporary particle physics. The dual-phase xenon time-projection chamber is the leading technology to cover the available parameter space for weakly interacting massive particles, while featuring extensive sensitivity to many alternative dark matter candidates. These detectors can also study neutrinos through neutrinoless double-beta decay and through a variety of astrophysical sources. A next-generation xenon-based detector will therefore be a true multi-purpose observatory to significantly advance particle physics, nuclear physics, astrophysics, solar physics, and cosmology. This review article presents the science cases for such a detector.

“…Nevertheless, Kr is denser than Ar, much more inexpensive and presents even the highest absorption cross section for X-rays in the 14-34 keV energy range when compared to xenon. These are advantages when large detection volumes and/or high-pressure are requirements and in specific applications where its natural radioactivity background will not seriously affect its operation due to the high intensity of incident radiation, like in some x-and gamma-ray spectrometry applications, or the possibility of efficient background discrimination in rare-event detection [36][37][38][39]. Kr detectors have been already proposed for double-beta decay and double electron-capture detection [37][38][39].…”
