Nuclear and weak interaction aspects of neutrinoless double beta decay: Recent results

The determination of the value of the light neutrino mass, as well as the determination of the nature of the neutrino, are two of the fundamental questions which motivate the experimental search of signals of neutrinoless double beta decay transitions. Here, we shall review some of the the essential...

Sumario:The determination of the value of the light neutrino mass, as well as the determination of the nature of the neutrino, are two of the fundamental questions which motivate the experimental search of signals of neutrinoless double beta decay transitions. Here, we shall review some of the the essentials of the theory, based on both nuclear structure and elementary particle physics, relevant for the understanding of the problem.
