Abstract

Nuclear double-beta decay provides an extraordinarily broad potential to search for beyond-standard-model physics, which is already probing the TeV scale, on which new physics should manifest itself. The following possibilities are reviewed here. First, the results of present-generation experiments are presented. The most sensitive one of them — the Heidelberg-Moscow experiment in the Gran Sasso - probes the electron mass in the sub-eV region and has recently reached a limit of ∼0.1 eV. This limit has striking influence on presently discussed neutrinomass scenarios. Based to a large extent on the theoretical work of the Heidelberg Double Beta Group in the last two years, results are obtained also for SUSY models (R-parity breaking, sneutrino mass), leptoquarks (leptoquark-Higgs coupling), compositeness, right-handed W boson mass, test of special relativity and the equivalence principle in the neutrino sector and others. These results are comfortably competitive to corresponding results from high-energy accelerators like TEVATRON, HERA, etc. One of the enriched 76Ge detectors also yields the most-stringent limits for cold dark matter (WIMPs) to date by using raw data. Second, future perspectives of ββ research are discussed. A new Heidelberg experimental proposal (GENIUS) will allow us to increase the sensitivity for Majorana neutrino masses from the present level of at best 0.1 eV down to 0.01 or even 0.001 eV. Its physical potential would be a breakthrough into the multi-TeV range for many beyond-standard models. Its sensitivity for neutrino-oscillation parameters would be larger than all present terrestrial neutrino-oscillation experiments and those planned for the future. It could probe directly the large-angle, and for almost-degenerate neutrino-mass scenarios even the small-angle solution of the solar-neutrino problem. It would further, already in a first step using only 100 kg of natural Ge detectors, cover almost the full MSSM parameter space for prediction of neutralinos as cold dark matter, making the experiment competitive to LHC in the search for supersymmetry. Finally GENIUS could be used as the first real-time detector of solar pp neutrinos.
