DESCRIPTION:The search for neutrinoless double beta decay\, ideally in mor
 e than one isotope\, has been identified as high priority by the internati
 onal subatomic physics community. Over the past decades\, significant adva
 ncements have been made in the development of xenon TPCs.\n\nProposed next
 -generation experiments intend to deploy tonne(s) of the double beta decay
 ing isotope Xe-136 and are expected to reach sensitivities in the mid-10^2
 7 to 10^28 years range. The complexity of these experiments and the cost o
 f xenon likely will limit the number of next-generation experiments and th
 eir timescales.\n\nWe are organizing a workshop to discuss possibilities a
 nd opportunities for a coherent collaborative effort to search for neutrin
 oless double beta decay in Xe-136. We want to keep this workshop as inclus
 ive and as broad as possible and are inviting possible collaborators with 
 the aim of creating a new consortium or collaboration under a new name wit
 h the broad goal of developing a roadmap for a competitive search for neu
 trinoless double beta decay using xenon as a target medium.\n\nThe worksho
 p will be held November 12-14\, 2025 in Montreal. \n\nThomson House Ballr
 oom\n3650 McTavish St\nMontreal\, QC H3A 1X1\n\nAll zoom sessions: https:

 \n\nThe outcome of the Workshop was a Community Statement\, where we summa
 rize the different points that were agreed on and the next steps. You can

 A follow-up workshop will be help at the University of Manchester Septembe
 r 14-18\, 2026. You can register for the workshop here. The meeting will 
 focus on how to make concrete plans\, given the proposed experiments and t
 he current funding landscape.\n\n\nOrganizing committee:\nThomas Brunner\n
