Abstract
The neutrinoless double beta decay is studied in the framework of left-right symmetric model. The coexistence of left and right handed currents induces rather complicated interactions between the lepton and hadron sectors, called < λ > mechanism and < η > mechanism in addition to the conventional effective neutrino mass < mν > mechanism. In this letter, we study the possible magnification of < η > mechanism and the relatively vanishing of < λ > mechanism. The importance to survey 0νββ decay of different nuclei for specifying new physics beyond the Standard Model is also discussed.
