On the possibility of a measurement of the CP Majorana phase in the 0\nu\beta\beta-decay

Abstract

In view of recent measurements of the mixing angle \theta_{13} a possibility to determine the difference of two CP Majorana phases of the neutrino mixing matrix from the study of neutrinoless double-beta decay is investigated. We show that in the case of the inverted hierarchy of neutrino masses it might be possible if neutrinoless double-beta decay will be observed. The required experimental accuracies and uncertainty in the calculated nuclear matrix elements of the process are discussed.
