Double beta decay experiments

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.
