Neutrinoless double beta decay, solar neutrinos and mass scales

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2009-11-07 v2

Abstract

We obtain bounds for the neutrino masses by combining atmospheric and solar neutrino data with the phenomenology of neutrinoless double beta decay where hypothetical values of |< m>| are envisaged from future 0\nu\beta\beta-experiments. Different solutions for the solar neutrino data are considered. For the Large-Mixing-Angle solution, a bound |< m>| \leq 0.01 eV would strongly disfavour an inverted hierarchy of the neutrino masses.
