Neutrinoless double beta decay in the dualized standard model

The dualized standard model offers a raison d'etre for 3 fermion generations and an explanation for their distinctive mass and mixing patterns, reproducing to a reasonable accuracy the empirical mixing matrix and mass spectrum for both quarks and leptons in terms of just a few parameters. With its parameters thus fixed, the result is a highly predictive framework. In particular, it is shown that it gives explicit parameter-free predictions for neutrinoless double beta decays. For Ge-76, it predicts a half-life of 10(31)-10(32) yr, which satisfies the present experimental lower bound of 1.8x10(25) y
