Neutrinoless double beta (0$\nu\beta\beta$) decay, forbidden for Dirac neutrinos, is one of the most promising approaches to answer the question of whether neutrinos are Majorana particles. If discovered, it can also shed light on the neutrino mass ordering, since the half-life of this process is related to the effective Majorana mass for the electron neutrino, m$_{bb}$, by the two-body space...

The double beta decay of 116Cd has been investigated with the help of radiopure enriched 116CdWO4 crystal scintillators (1.162 kg) at the Gran Sasso underground laboratory. The half-life of 116Cd relative to the two neutrino double beta decay to the ground state of 116Sn was measured with the highest up-to-date accuracy as T1/2=(2.63+-0.11)e19 yr. A new improved limit on the neutrinoless...
