Search for Majorana neutrinos with the first two years of EXO-200 data

Nature, 2014 - nature.com
Many extensions of the standard model of particle physics suggest that neutrinos should be
Majorana-type fermions—that is, that neutrinos are their own anti-particles—but this …

Theory of neutrinoless double-beta decay

JD Vergados, H Ejiri, F Šimkovic - Reports on Progress in Physics, 2012 - iopscience.iop.org
Neutrinoless double-beta decay, which is a very old and yet elusive process, is reviewed. Its
observation will signal that the lepton number is not conserved and that the neutrinos are …
