Description
Neutrinoless Double Beta Decay (NLDBD) searches offer the most sensitive tests of Lepton Flavor Violation. The discovery of NLDBD would have profound consequences: it would establish neutrinos as Majorana particles, it would be the demonstration of a matter-creating process, and it would offer corroborating evidence for leptogenesis -- one of the possible answers to the question of our why we exist -- which is fun to discuss with a random neighbor on an airplane. I will briefly discuss the current status of NLDBD searches and will focus on the opportunities for discoveries with ton-scale and even larger future NLDBD experiments.
