Description
Neutrinoless double beta decay might be our only window to observe lepton number violation. Most extensions of the Standard Model predict that neutrinos are Majorana particles and in this case neutrinoless double beta decay will exist. The talk discusses the motivation and experimental programs in this field with special emphasis on experiments using Ge-76. The latter have the lowest background and best energy resolution.
