Future prospects for neutrinoless double-beta decay

Nuclear Experiment 2017-05-12 v1 Instrumentation and Detectors

Abstract

The study of neutrinoless double-beta decay plays a fundamental role in the understanding of neutrino physics. Its observation would prove that neutrinos are Majorana particles and that lepton number is not conserved. Experimental searches demand detectors with a very large source mass and extremely low background. We report on planned future experimental searches and discuss their expected sensitivities.
