Double Beta Decay APPEC Committee Report

Abstract

This report constitutes the roadmap document prepared by the Double Beta Decay APPEC Committee for the APPEC SAC on the future neutrinoless double beta decay experimental programme in Europe. It reviews the existing, planned and proposed technologies for neutrinoless double beta decay, their discovery potential and technical challenges, making a critical examination of resources and schedules. It also provides a concise discussion of the theoretical issues and of the status and uncertainties on the nuclear matrix element evaluation.
