Neutrinoless Double Beta Decay and Lepton Number Violating New Physics — •Michael Duerr, Manfred Lindner, and Dominik Neuenfeld — Max-Planck-Institut für Kernphysik, Heidelberg, Germany

Neutrinoless double beta decay is a very promising experimental test for lepton number violation. The exchange of light Majorana neutrinos is the simplest realization of this decay, but other physics beyond the Standard Model may also mediate neutrinoless double beta decay. We will discuss the interplay of different mechanisms and the influence such an interplay has on the extraction of parameters of the neutrino sector from experimental results.
