✦ Synopsis

Once neutrinoless double beta decay is discovered, the question which mechanism triggers the decay becomes crucial for drawing any conclusion about the concrete physics underlying the process, like the neutrino Majorana mass. For example, in the minimal supersymmetric extension with R-parity violation both neutrino Majorana masses and superpartners can trigger the decay. We show that in this case, if the decay is triggered by superpartners, there exist good prospects to observe single slepton production at the LHC. Resonant single slepton production at the LHC can therefore discriminate between the λ 111 neutrinoless double beta decay mechanism and others.

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

A derivation of the neutrinoless double beta decay rate, specially adapted for nuclear structure calculations, is presented. It is shown that the Fourier-Bessel expansion of the hadronic currents, jointly with angular momentum recoupling, leads to very simple final expressions for the nuclear form f
