Neutrino mass implications of double beta decay

Creators

Description

It is shown that, under quite general circumstances, the detection of neutrinoless double beta decay would imply a significant lower bound on the mass of at least one neutrino. This bound would be ∼ 1 eV if the decay should be seen at a rate close to the present limit. An explanation, including the main numerical details, of the origin of this bound is given
