Description

New experiments are suggested to search for neutrinoless double-beta decay between pairs of single-beta emitters. This addresses the Majorana mass of the neutrino. The electron capture decay mode for single-beta emitters is much easier to investigate than the previously considered beta-decay modes. The experimental problems introduced by the bremsstrahlung background are examined. Actual implementation of these experiments appears somewhat beyond current technical means
