This White Paper, prepared for the Fundamental Symmetries, Neutrons, and Neutrinos Town Meeting related to the 2023 Nuclear Physics Long Range Plan, makes the case for double beta decay as a critical component of the future nuclear physics program. The major experimental collaborations and many theorists have endorsed this white paper.

• Global constraints on absolute neutrino masses and their ordering (2017, background): “Transforming lower bounds on T into upper bounds on mββ requires theoretical input on the NME and their uncertainties [15, 50–52, 56–58].”
• Current Direct Neutrino Mass Experiments (2013, background): “A significant additional uncertainty which enters the relation of mee and the decay rate is the nuclear matrix element of the neutrinoless double β-decay [12].”
• Current unknowns in the three-neutrino framework (2018, background): “If neutrinos are of Majorana (instead of Dirac) type [50, 51], then a rare process of two-lepton creation—the neutrinoless double beta decay (0νββ)—may occur in some nuclei [52, 53, 54, 55], with a rate proportional to the square of the effective Majorana mass mββ,”
