ON PROSPECTS FOR EXPLORATION OF SUPERSYMMETRY IN DOUBLE-BETA DECAY EXPERIMENTS

We analyze constraints on the parameters of the R(p) violating supersy mmetry (R(p) SUSY) which can be extracted from non-observation of the neutrinoless nuclear double beta decay (Ov beta beta) at a given half- life lower bound. Our analysis covers a large class of phenomenologica lly viable Rp SUSY models. We introduce special characteristics: the S USY sensitivity of a beta beta-decaying isotope and the SUSY reach of a Ov beta beta-experiment. The former provides a physical criterion fo r a selection of the most promising isotopes for SUSY searches and the latter gives a measure of success for a Ov beta beta-experiment in ex ploring the Rp SUSY parameter space. On this basis we discuss prospect s for exploration of supersymmetry in various Ov beta beta-experiments .
