This course covers the nuclear and particle physics concepts related to neutrinoless double beta decay. The learning outcomes include understanding the rare second-order weak process of double beta decay, testing lepton number conservation, and exploring the Majorana mass of the electron neutrino. The course teaches about isotopes, nuclear pairing force, neutrino modes, parity, the weak interaction, Dirac and Majorana masses, neutrino mass splittings, and detector development. The teaching method involves lectures and discussions. The intended audience for this course includes students and professionals interested in nuclear and particle physics, neutrino physics, and experimental physics.
