Description

Observation of neutrinoless double-beta decay (0$\nu\beta^{-}\beta^{-}$) would establish that neutrinos are Majorana particles (indistinguishable from their antiparticles) [1]. In spite of the formidable experimental challenges, it is an experimentally sensitive avenue to provide direct information on neutrino masses. The current work [2] would explore the required sensitivity for the upcoming projected 0$\nu\beta^{-}\beta^{-}$ experiments to probe the inverted mass hierarchy (IH) as well as non-degenerate (ND) normal mass hierarchy (NH). We studied the required exposures of 0$\nu\beta^{-}\beta^{-}$-projects as a function of the expected background (following ``Discovery Potential at 3$\sigma$ with 50% probability'' statistical scheme) before the experiments are performed. This work would address the pivotal role of background suppression in the future 0$\nu\beta^{-}\beta^{-}$ experiments with sensitivity goals of approaching and covering ND-NH.
