Abstract:We update our earlier study Phys. Lett. B 544 (2002) 239], which was inspired by the 2002 SNO data, on the implications of the results of the solar neutrino experiments for the predictions of the effective Majorana mass in neutrinoless double beta-decay, |left angle bracketmright-pointing angle bracket|. We obtain predictions for |left angle bracketmright-pointing angle bracket| using the values of the neutrino oscillation parameters, obtained in the analyzes of the presently available solar neutrino data, including the just published data from the salt phase of the SNO experiment, the atmospheric neutrino and CHOOZ data and the first data from the KamLAND experiment. The main conclusion reached in the previous study Phys. Lett. B 544 (2002) 239] of the existence of significant lower bounds on |left angle bracketmright-pointing angle bracket| in the cases of neutrino mass spectrum of inverted hierarchical (IH) and quasi-degenerate (QD) type is strongly reinforced by fact that combined solar neutrino data (i) exclude the possibility of cos2θcircled dot operator=0 at more than 5 s.d., (ii) determine as a best fit value cos2θcircled dot operator=0.40, and (iii) imply at 95% C.L. that cos2θcircled dot operatorgreater-than or equivalent to0.22, θcircled dot operator being the solar neutrino mixing angle. For the IH and QD spectra we get using, e.g., the 90% C.L. allowed ranges of values of the oscillation parameters, |left angle bracketmright-pointing angle bracket|greater-than or equivalent to0.010 eV and |left angle bracketmright-pointing angle bracket|greater-than or equivalent to0.043 eV, respectively. We also comment on the possibility to get information on the neutrino mass spectrum and on the CP-violation in the lepton sector due to Majorana CP-violating phases.
