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, $T_{1/2} = \left[ 6.81 \pm 0.01\,\left(\mbox{stat}\right)…
The hypothesis of the single state dominance (SSD) in the calculation of the two-neutrino double beta decay of Mo100 is tested by exact consideration of the energy denominators of the perturbation theory. Both transitions to the ground…
The systematic study of (anti-)neutrino accompanied beta^-beta^-, beta^+beta^+ decays and beta^+/EC, EC/EC electron captures is performed under the assumption of single intermediate nuclear state dominance. The corresponding half-lives are…
We study the two-neutrino double-beta decay in 76Ge, 116Cd, 128Te, 130Te, and 150Nd, as well as the two Gamow-Teller branches that connect the double-beta decay partners with the states in the intermediate nuclei. We use a theoretical…
We consider new modes of two-neutrino and neutrinoless double-$\beta$ decays in which one $\beta$ electron goes over to a continuous spectrum and the other occupies a vacant bound level of the daughter ion. We calculate the corresponding…
We report on the measurement of the two-neutrino double-$\beta$ decay of $^{82}$Se performed for the first time with cryogenic calorimeters, in the framework of the CUPID-0~experiment. With an exposure of 9.95 kg$\times$yr of Zn$^{82}$Se,…

The $2\nu\beta\beta$-decay nuclear matrix elements (NMEs) for 11 nuclei are studied with the self-consistent quasiparticle random phase approximation (QRPA) based on Skyrme Hartree-Fock-Bogoliubov (Skyrme HFB) model. As a common feature…

Usually considered a background for experimental searches for the hypothetical neutrinoless double beta decay process, two-neutrino double beta decay nevertheless provides a complementary probe of physics beyond the Standard Model. In this…
NEMO 3 is a currently running experiment to search for the neutrinoless double beta decay and to study the two-neutrino double beta decay with 10kg of enriched isotopes. On the basis of the first two years of data taking, a limit on the…
Double-beta decay is a rare nuclear process in which two neutrons in the nucleus are converted to two protons with the emission of two electrons and two electron anti-neutrinos. We measured the half life of the two-neutrino double-beta…
