Abstract
We present a new contribution of the -parity-violating supersymmetry (SUSY) to neutrinoless double beta decay via the pion exchange between decaying neutrons. The pion coupling to the final state electrons is induced by the SUSY interactions. We have found this pion-exchange mechanism to dominate over the conventional two-nucleon one. The latter corresponds to direct interaction between quarks from two decaying neutrons without any light hadronic mediator like meson. The constraints on the certain SUSY parameters are extracted from the current experimental -decay half-life limit. These constraints are significantly stronger than those previously known or expected from the ongoing accelerator experiments.
