Double Beta Decay

I review the subject of double beta decay with emphasis upon its implications for the neutrino. It is shown that even if right-handed currents provide the phenomenological mechanism for no-neutrino decay, the fundamental mechanism underlying the process must be neutrino mass. Estimates of the mass required suggest that this mechanism is less likely than the direct mechanism of Majorana mass terms in the mass matrix.
