The article is dedicated to one of the most actual problems of modern nuclear physics - the study of the very rare decay mode known as double beta decay by the example of xenon-136 isotope. The article describes the principles of experimental observation of this decay mode with leading experiments in this field: EXO, NEXT and KamLAND-ZeN. There are schematics and description of the main parts of the experimental units. Also, the experimental results and their comparison are illustrated.
