Abstract

Right handed weak-currents (RHCs) in the left-right (L-R) symmetric model for neutrinoless double beta decays (DBDs) of both the 0+  0+0^+~\to~0^+ and 0+  2+0^+~\to~2^+ transitions are discussed from both theoretical and experimental view points. <λ><\lambda> and <η><\eta>-terms are related by <λ>/<η>tanβ<\lambda>/<\eta> \approx \tan\beta, which is constrained in the regions of 1601-60 for SUSY grand unified theories (GUTs) and of 11651-165 for non-SUSY GUTs. The enhancement mechanisms of the <η><\eta> term over the <λ><\lambda> term in the 0+0^+ transition are shown, and the Δ\Delta isobar contribution to the NME for the transition to the 2+^+ state is found to be of the order of 20%20\% of the NME with the quenched weak coupling. The new and interesting RHC regions of <λ>5×108<\lambda>\approx 5\times10^{-8} and <η>1.5×1010<\eta>\approx 1.5\times 10^{-10} are shown to be exclusively explored by measuring both the ββ\beta\beta and γ\gamma rays associated with the ground and excited DBDs by means of the ton-scale DBD detectors for the IH (inverted hierarchy) ν\nu-masses. The actual RHCs to be studied depend on the RHC NMEs.
