Abstract

Future experiments on the search for the 0νββ decay will be sensitive to the effective Majorana mass in the region of the inverted mass hierarchy. If a positive signal is observed, a possibility to test models of calculation of nuclear matrix elements of the process will appear. We discuss this possibility in some detail.
