The discovery of neutrino masses through the observation of oscillations boosted the
importance of neutrinoless double beta decay (0νββ). In this paper, we review the main …

The observation of neutrinoless double beta decay (DBD) will have important
consequences. First it will signal that lepton number is not conserved and the neutrinos are …

In the Standard Model the total lepton number is conserved. Thus, neutrinoless double-β
decay, in which the total lepton number is violated by two units, is a probe of physics beyond …

The NEMO-3 detector, which had been operating in the Modane Underground Laboratory
from 2003 to 2010, was designed to search for neutrinoless double-β (0 ν β β) decay. We …

We estimate constraints on the existence of a heavy, mostly sterile neutrino with mass
between 10 eV and 1 TeV. We improve upon previous analyses by performing a global …

The full data set of the NEMO-3 experiment has been used to measure the half-life of the two-
neutrino double beta decay of\(^{100}\) Mo to the ground state of\(^{100}\) Ru,\(T_ {1/2}=\left …

Background: The discovery of neutrinoless double-β (0 ν β β) decay would demonstrate the
nature of neutrinos, have profound implications for our understanding of matter-antimatter …

A bstract NEXT-100 is an electroluminescent high-pressure xenon gas time projection
chamber that will search for the neutrinoless double beta (0νββ) decay of 136 Xe. The …

Abstract Large lithium molybdate (Li 2 MoO 4) crystal boules were produced by using the
low thermal gradient Czochralski growth technique from deeply purified molybdenum. A …

We revisit a singlet Majoron model in which neutrino masses arise from the spontaneous
violation of lepton number. If the Majoron obtains a mass of order MeV, it can play the role of …
