There are many experimental efforts with a variety of techniques. Some (EXO, Kamland-Zen, GERDA phase I and CANDLES) started take data in 2011 and EXO has reported the first measurement of the half life for the double beta decay with two neutrinos of $^{136}$Xe. The sensitivities of the different proposals are reviewed.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2012-01-24T07:00:05.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "neutrinoless double beta decay", "lepton number violating process", "half life", "experimental efforts", "gerda phase" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "doi": "10.1088/1742-6596/375/1/042007", "journal": "Journal of Physics Conference Series", "year": 2012, "month": "Jul", "volume": 375, "number": 4, "pages": "042007" }, "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 8, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "inspire": 1085633, "adsabs": "2012JPhCS.375d2007S" } } }
