Neutrinoless double beta decay in light of JUNO first data

A bstract The first results from the JUNO reactor neutrino oscillation experiment improve our knowledge of neutrino masses and mixing parameters, especially the solar angle θ s ≡ θ 12 and the solar mass squared difference mₛ² m₂₁² Δ m s 2 ≡ Δ m 21 2. We discuss the implications of these results on neutrinoless double beta decay by itself and in combination with the global fit of neutrino oscillation experiments, the JUNO first data, and cosmological constraints on the neutrino mass sum. For the effective mass ⟨ m ee ⟩, the uncertainties in its lower limits for both mass orderings and upper limits for the normal ordering are largely reduced. Since the cosmological CMB and DESI BAO data put a stringent constraint on the neutrino mass scale, we also show how the probability distribution of both the real and imaginary parts of the effective mass ⟨ m ee ⟩ on the complex plane is affected. Especially, the funnel region with |⟨ m ee ⟩| ≲ 1 meV receives larger chance to happen. Correspondingly, the chance of determining the two Majorana CP phases simultaneously in this region also increases with reduced uncertainty.
