Right-handed weak currents (RHCs) in the left-right symmetric model for neutrinoless double beta decays (DBDs) of both the and transitions are discussed from both theoretical and experimental viewpoints. and terms are related by , which is constrained in the regions of 1–60 for SUSY grand unified theories (GUTs) and of 1–165 for non-SUSY GUTs. The enhancement mechanisms of the term over the term in the transition is shown, and the isobar contribution to the nuclear matrix element (NME) for the transition to the state is found to be of the order of of the NME with the quenched weak coupling. The new and interesting RHC regions of and are shown to be exclusively explored by measuring both the and rays associated with the ground and excited DBDs by means of the ton-scale DBD detectors for the inverted hierarchy masses. The actual RHCs to be studied depend on the RHC NMEs.
