Limits on fourth family neutrinos from searches for beta-beta decay and dark matter
Abstract
Nonaccelerator experiments searching for neutrinoless double beta decay and for dark matter are briefly discussed. The theory of fourth family leptons is addressed as it pertains to both double beta decay and dark matter. Experimental findings on dark matter WIMPs are summarized.
