Description
The search for neutrinoless double beta decay might be the only
window to observe lepton number violation and to determine the nature
of neutrinos. Is is therefore considered to be of highest relevance. The
isotope Ge-76 has historically been most important for this search and
the ongoing experiment GERDA has the lowest background of all
experiments in the field. The current experimental status and
the proposed experimental program beyond GERDA (and Majorana)
is presented.
