Review of double beta decay experiments

Abstract

The brief review of current experiments on search and studying of double beta decay processes is done. Best present limits on $⟨m_{\nu }⟩$ and $⟨g_{ee}⟩$ are presented. Prospects of search for neutrinoless double beta decay in new experiments with sensitivity to $⟨m_{\nu }⟩$ at the level of $\sim$ 0.01-0.1 eV are discussed.
