Abstract: (arXiv)
The present status of double beta decay experiments (including the search for , EC and ECEC processes) are reviewed. The results of the most sensitive experiments are discussed. Average and recommended half-life values for two-neutrino double beta decay are presented. Conservative upper limits on effective Majorana neutrino mass and the coupling constant of the Majoron to the neutrino are established as eV and , respectively. Proposals for future double beta decay experiments with a sensitivity for the at the level of (0.01-0.1) eV are considered.Note:
