Constraints on Neutrino Parameters by Neutrinoless Double Beta Decay Experiments

Abstract

Allowed regions on the m_l - cos{2\theta_{12}} plane are extracted from results of neutrinoless double beta decay experiments. It is shown that 0.05 eV (0 eV) < m_l < 1.85 eV is obtained for the normal (inverted) hierarchy by using the LMA best fit parameters and the 0\nu\beta\beta result announced late last year, which is 0.05 eV _\beta\beta < 0.84 eV with +/- 50% uncertainty of the nuclear matrix elements.Comment: 6 pages, 3 figures, iopart.cls.
