Two-neutrino double beta decay (2υββ) is a rare second-order weak radioactive decay process. It has been observed in neutrinoless double beta decay (0υββ) search experiments. Precise observation of 2υββ is essential to reduce the theoretical uncertainty in the calculation of nuclear matrix elements required to obtain the effective Majorana mass from a lifetime of 0υββ. Also, 2υββ itself is interesting because new physics could be hiding in the energy spectrum, such as for example, Majoron emission mode 0υββ and 2υββ with neutrino self-interaction. KamLAND-Zen 800 is an experiment to search for 0υββ of 136 Xe with a large ultra-pure liquid scintillator detector, KamLAND. KamLAND-Zen 800 has been observing 745 kg of xenon gas at 91% enriched in 136 Xe since 2019, providing a high statistics 2υββ decay sample. We describe the potential for new physics searches in 2υββ with KamLAND-Zen 800.
