The PandaX observatory uses xenon as target and detector to search for WIMP particles as well as neutrinoless double beta decay ($0\nu\beta\beta$) in ${}^{136}Xe$. At present, the PandaX-II experiment is in operation in CJPL-I. The future PandaX program will pursue the following three main directions:
- Continue the operation of PandaX-II until a total of 2-year exposure;
- Develop and operate a multi-ton multi-purpose liquid xenon experiment, PandaX-xT, to push further the dark matter search;
- Develop and operate a 200 kg (upgradable to ton-scale) high pressure gas TPC (HpgTPC), PandaX-III, to search for $0\nu\beta\beta$ in ${}^{136}Xe$.
