In the Standard Model, the neutrinoless double beta decay is not allowed but it is allowed in most Grand Unified Theories (GUTs). The neutrino must be a Majorana particle (identical with its antiparticles) and must have a mass to allow the neutrinoless double beta decay. Apart from one claim that th

After the discovery of neutrino oscillations, the search for the 0Ξ½Ξ²Ξ²-decay became one of the most fundamental problems of neutrino physics. In this contribution the recent developments in the field of nuclear double beta decay are reviewed. The light Majorana neutrino mass mechanism of the neutrino
Single Ξ²-decay of 187 Re and double Ξ²-decay are discussed for probing absolute masses of neutrinos. It is shown that 187 Re decay is dominated by p-wave emission of the electron over s-wave. Double Ξ²-decay nuclear matrix elements relevant to the neutrino mass mechanism are discussed in the view poin
