We study the/3/3 decays of 76Ge, 82Se, 136Xe, 124Sn, 128Te, 13°Te in the shell model framework. Bounds on the neutrino mass are obtained and it is found that , among them, S2Se and 124Sn are the most favoured isotopes to detect the neutrinoless mode.
The fundamental importance of searching for neutrinoless double-beta decay is widely recognized. Observation of the decay would tell us that the total lepton number is not conserved and that, consequently, neutrinos are massive Majorana fermions. The same statement could be made in the case of obser
