Double beta decay experiments

TL;DR

This paper reviews the current state of double beta decay experiments, discusses recent results, and explores future proposals aiming for higher sensitivity to neutrino mass.

Contribution

It provides a comprehensive overview of recent experimental results and outlines future experimental designs with improved sensitivity to neutrino mass.

Findings

Most sensitive experiments set new limits on double beta decay

Future proposals aim for sensitivity to neutrino mass at 0.01--0.1 eV

Current experiments have not yet observed double beta decay

Abstract

The present status of double beta decay experiments is reviewed. The results of the most sensitive experiments are discussed. Proposals for future double beta decay experiments with a sensitivity to the $< m_{\nu} >$ at the level of (0.01--0.1) eV are considered.
