If neutrinoless double beta decay is discovered, the next natural step would be understanding lepton number violating physics responsible for it. Several alternatives exist beyond exchange of light neutrinos. Some these mechanisms can distinguished by measuring phase-space observables, namely opening angle $\cos\theta$ among two electrons, and electron energy spectra, $T_1$ $T_2$. In this work, we study statistical accuracy precision in kinematic observables a future xenon gas detector with...
