Combined constraints on Majorana masses from neutrinoless double beta decay experiments

Combined bounds on the Majorana neutrino mass for light and heavy neutrino exchange mechanisms are derived from current neutrinoless double beta decay (0νββ) search results for a variety of nuclear matrix element (NME) models. The approach requires self-consistency of a given model to predict NMEs across different isotopes. The derived bounds are notably stronger than those from any single experiment and show less model-to-model variation, highlighting the advantages of using multiple isotopes in such searches. Projections indicate that the combination of near-term experiments should be able to probe well into the inverted neutrino mass hierarchy region. A method to visually represent 0νββ experimental results is also suggested to more transparently compare across different isotopes and explicitly track model dependencies
