The only practical way to experimentally verify the nature of neutrinos is via the observation of neutrinoless double-beta decay. EXO-200, the first current generation neutrinoless double-beta decay searches to begin taking data, wrapped up data taking at the end of last year. While the final results to be presented by EXO-200 will continue to advance the field, EXO-200 has long since served its primary mission as a prototype for a tonne scale next generation search: nEXO. I intend to impress you with the success of EXO-200 and build on this to convince you that nEXO has every chance of observing neutrinoless double-beta decay while being the most likely to achieve the best sensitivity of proposed next generation searches.
