【 摘 要 】

Understanding the charge conjugation nature and the absolute mass scale of neutrinos will lead to valuable insights into physics beyond the Standard Model. Both of these aspects can be probed by the observation of neutrinoless double beta decay. The experimental search for neutrinoless double beta decay is thus an important, next step in neutrino physics. Several experiments have recently started taking data and several more are under construction. The sensitivity of upcoming double beta decay experiments will begin to probe neutrino masses as would be suggested by the inverted neutrino mass hierarchy. A summary of the capabilities and status of several double beta decay experiments was presented at NuPhys 2013.
