Abstract

Double beta decay has been proven to be a powerful tool to constrain BLB-L violating physics beyond the standard model. We present a representation for the long-range part of the general 0νββ0\nu\beta\beta decay rate allowed by Lorentz-invariance. Combined with the short range part this general parametrization in terms of effective BLB-L violating couplings will provide the 0νββ0\nu\beta\beta limits on arbitrary lepton number violating theories.
