Majorana neutrino masses from neutrinoless double-beta decays and lepton-number-violating meson decays

The Schechter–Valle theorem states that a positive observation of neutrinoless double-beta (0νββ) decays implies a finite Majorana mass term for neutrinos when any unlikely fine-tuning or cancellation is absent. In this note, we reexamine the quantitative impact of the Schechter–Valle theorem, and f...
