The discovery of neutrinoless β β decay could soon be within reach. This hypothetical
ultrarare nuclear decay offers a privileged portal to physics beyond the standard model of …

Neutrinoless double-beta decay is a forbidden, lepton-number-violating nuclear transition
whose observation would have fundamental implications for neutrino physics, theories …

This review demonstrates the unique role of the neutrino by discussing in detail the physics
of and with neutrinos. We deal with neutrino sources, neutrino oscillations, absolute masses …

All existing positive results on two-neutrino double beta decay and two-neutrino double
electron capture in different nuclei have been analyzed. Weighted average and …

The turn of the 21st century witnessed a sudden shift in our fundamental understanding of
particle physics. While the minimal Standard Model predicts that neutrino masses are …

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 …

Neutrinoless double beta decay (0 ν β β) is a crucial test for lepton number violation.
Observation of this process would have fundamental implications for neutrino physics …

The amplitude for the neutrinoless double β (0 ν β β) decay of the two-neutron system nn→
ppe-e-constitutes a key building block for nuclear-structure calculations of heavy nuclei …
