The discovery of neutrinoless double-beta decay could soon be within reach. This hypothetical ultra-rare nuclear decay offers a privileged portal to physics beyond the Standard Model of particle physics. Its observation would constitute the discovery of a matter-creating process, corroborating leading theories of why the universe contains more matter than antimatter, and how forces unify at high energy scales. It would also prove that neutrinos and anti-neutrinos are not two distinct particles, but can transform into each other, with their mass described by a unique mechanism conceived by Majorana. The recognition that neutrinos are not massless necessitates an explanation and has boosted interest in neutrinoless double-beta decay. The field stands now at a turning point. A new round of experiments is currently being prepared for the next decade to cover an important region of parameter space. In parallel, advances in nuclear theory are laying the groundwork to connect the nuclear decay with the underlying new physics. Meanwhile, the particle theory landscape continues to find new motivations for neutrinos to be their own antiparticle. This review brings together the experimental, nuclear theory, and particle theory aspects connected to neutrinoless double-beta decay, to explore the path toward - and beyond - its discovery.

  1. A Novel Neutrino Mass Matrix

    hep-ph 2025-08 reject novelty 6.0 of 10

    A neutrino mass matrix texture with correlations m12=m13 and m33=2i m12 is claimed to fix the hierarchy, octant, and CP phases, but the supporting model and RG analysis are incomplete.

  2. Cryogenic light detectors with thermal signal amplification for $0\nu\beta\beta$ search experiments

    physics.ins-det 2025-07 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    NTL-amplified germanium light detectors in a 10-crystal cryogenic array achieve a signal-to-noise gain near 9, sub-millisecond rise time, and projected pile-up background close to the CUPID goal.

  3. Disentangle RG Running Parameters with Medium-Baseline Reactor Experiments

    hep-ph 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 5.5 of 10

    RG running beta functions of mixing parameters alter the fast oscillation mode at JUNO and can reduce mass ordering sensitivity, but measurements from the TAO near detector can restore it by constraining the running p...

  4. Search for heavy Majorana neutrinos at muon-proton colliders via lepton-number-violating signals

    hep-ph 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 5.0 of 10

    Simulates LNV signals from heavy Majorana neutrinos (200-3000 GeV) at a 5.3 TeV μp collider and projects 2σ limits on |V_ℓN|² superior to LHC bounds for 100 fb⁻¹ and 1 ab⁻¹ luminosities.

  5. Sensitivity of neutrinoless double beta decays from a combined analysis of ground and excited states

    hep-ph 2025-08 unverdicted novelty 5.0 of 10

    Combined analysis of 0νββ decays to ground and excited states can significantly enhance experimental sensitivity depending on NME predictions.

  6. Nuclear Physics Confronts Relativistic Collisions Of Isobars

    nucl-ex 2025-07 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    RHIC isobar data are explained by different shapes of 96Ru and 96Zr, with 96Zr showing a large octupole deformation, so nuclear structure uncertainty, not the magnetic field, dominates the observed ratios.

  7. Muon veto system for the CROSS double-beta decay search experiment

    physics.ins-det 2025-10 conditional novelty 4.0 of 10

    A nine-sector muon veto with single-sector trigger logic is projected to reject 99.7% of muon-induced events in the CROSS 0νββ region of interest, reducing that background to ~2e-3 cnts/keV/kg/yr.
