One Year of Evidence for Neutrinoless Double Beta Decay

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2007-05-23 v1

Abstract

The present experimental status in the search for neutrinoless double beta decay is reviewed, with emphasis on the first indication for neutrinoless double beta decay found in the HEIDELBERG-MOSCOW experiment, giving first evidence for lepton number violation and a Majorana nature of the neutrinos. Future perspectives of the field are briefly outlined.
