From the analyses of the recent data of neutrino oscillation experiments (especially the CHOOZ and the Super KAMIOKANDE experiments), we discuss how these data affect the neutrinoless double beta decay ($(beta beta)_{0 u}$) rate and vice versa assuming that neutrinos are Majorana particles. For the case that $m_1 sim m_2 ll m_3$ ($m_i$ are neutrino masses), we obtain, from the data of the CHOOZ and Super KAMIOKANDE, $0.28 le sin^2theta_{23} le 0.76$ and $sin^2theta_{13} le 0.05$. Combining the latter constraint with the analysis of the averaged neutrino mass (< m_ u >) appeared in $(beta beta)_{0 u}$, we find that (frac{< m_ u >-m_2}{m_3-m_2}<sin^2 theta_{13} le 0.05), which leads to the constraint on (< m_ u >) as (< m_ u > le 0.05 m_3+(1-0.05)m_2). For the case that $m_1 ll m_2 sim m_3$, we find that the data of neutrino oscillation experiments and$(beta beta)_{0 u}$ imply the constraints of mixing angles.

Taking account of possible CP violation, we discuss about the constraints on the lepton mixing angles from the neutrinoless double beta decay and from the neutrino oscillation for the three flavour Majorana neutrinos. From the CHORUS oscillation experiment, combined with the data of neutrinoless double beta decay, we show that the large angle solution of (theta_{23}) is improbable if the neutrino mass (m_3) of the third generation is a candidate of hot dark matters.
The observation of neutrinoless double beta decay will have important consequences. First it will signal that lepton number is not conserved and the neutrinos are Majorana particles. Second, it represents our best hope for determining the absolute neutrino mass scale at the level of a few tens of meV. To achieve the last goal, however, certain hurdles have to be overcome involving particle, nuclear and experimental physics. Particle physics is important since it provides the mechanisms for neutrinoless double beta decay. In this review we emphasize the light neutrino mass mechanism. Nuclear physics is important for extracting the useful information from the data. One must accurately evaluate the relevant nuclear matrix elements, a formidable task. To this end, we review the recently developed sophisticated nuclear structure approaches, employing different methods and techniques of calculation. We also examine the question of quenching of the axial vector coupling constant, which may have important consequences on the size of the nuclear matrix elements. From an experimental point of view it is challenging, since the life times are extremely long and one has to fight against formidable backgrounds. One needs large isotopically enriched sources and detectors with good energy resolution and very low background.
Recent neutrino experiment results show a preference for the normal neutrino mass ordering. The global efforts to search for neutrinoless double beta decays undergo a broad gap with the approach to the prediction in the three-neutrino framework based on the normal ordering. This research is intended to show that it is possible to find a neutrinoless double beta decay signal even with normal ordered neutrino masses. We propose the existence of a light sterile neutrino as a solution to the higher effective mass of the electron neutrino expected by the current experiments. A few short-baseline oscillation experiments gave rise to a limit on the mass of the sterile neutrino and its mixing with the lightest neutrino. We demonstrate that the results of neutrinoless double beta decays can also narrow down the range of the mass and the mixing angle of the light sterile neutrino.
We examine the prospects of detecting an analogous process of neutrinoless double beta decay at a neutrino factory from a high energy muon storage ring. Limits from LEP experiments, neutrinoless double beta decay as well as from global fits have to be incorporated and severely restrict the results. We investigate what limits on light and heavy effective Majorana neutrino masses can be obtained and compare them with existing ones. Discussed are also contributions from right-handed neutrinos and purely right-handed interactions. Other ``new physics contributions to the same final state might produce large event numbers.
We discuss a novel effect in neutrinoless double beta (0{ u}{beta}{beta}) decay related with the fact that its underlying mechanisms take place in the nuclear matter environment. We study the neutrino exchange mechanism and demonstrate the possible impact of nuclear medium via Lepton Number Violating (LNV) 4-fermion interactions of neutrino with quarks from decaying nucleus. The net effect of these interactions is generation of an effective in-medium Majorana neutrino mass matrix. The enhanced rate of the 0{ u}{beta}{beta}-decay can lead to the apparent incompatibility of observations of the 0{ u}{beta}{beta}-decay with the value of the neutrino mass determined or restricted by the {beta}-decay and cosmological data. The effective neutrino masses and mixing are calculated for the complete set of the relevant 4-fermion neutrino-quark operators. Using experimental data on the 0{ u}{beta}{beta}-decay in combination with the {beta}-decay and cosmological data we evaluate the characteristic scales of the LNV operators: {Lambda} > 2.4 TeV.
