The entire wavefunction of the antineutrino-proton-electron system, produced by the $\beta$ decay of a neutron is analyzed. It is proven that the antineutrino cannot be in coherent superpositions of different mass eigenstates, irrespective…
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, $T_{1/2} = \left[ 6.81 \pm 0.01\,\left(\mbox{stat}\right)…
The NEMO-3 experiment at the Modane Underground Laboratory has investigated the double-$\beta$ decay of $^{48}{\rm Ca}$. Using $5.25$ yr of data recorded with a $6.99\,{\rm g}$ sample of $^{48}{\rm Ca}$, approximately $150$ double-$\beta$…
The inverse $\beta$-decay reaction, anti-nu_e + p --> e^+ + n, for low-energy anti-neutrinos coming from nuclear reactors is of great current interest in connection with high-precision measurements of the neutrino mixing angle…
We reply to the preceding Comment by E. van Beveren et al., arXiv:0811.2589 [hep-ph].
The analysis of the data on measurements of the neutron lifetime is presented. A new most accurate result of the measurement of neutron lifetime [Phys. Lett. B 605 (2005) 72] 878.5 +/- 0.8 s differs from the world average value [Phys. Lett.…
A strong violation of the $\displaystyle{\Delta I = {1\over 2}} $ rule has experimentally been found in the $\displaystyle{D \to \pi\pi}$ decays [1]. In this letter we will show that the order of magnitude of this violation can be…
Neutrinoless double beta decay pops up almost in any extension of the standard model. It is perhaps the only process, which can unambiguously determine whether the massive neutrinos are Majorana or Dirac type particles. In addition from the…
In work [1] (Yu. N. Pokotilovski, arXiv:0902.3425v2) restrictions on constants of pseudo-magnetic interaction gSgP are presented. These restrictions are considerably differed from restrictions on gSgP, before published in work [2] (A.P.…
The commented manuscript was submitted for publication without informing at least four of the other authors, viz. N. Severijns, O. Zimmer, H.-F. Wirth and D. Rich. This violates our rights as collaborators. The analysis presented and the…
The observed phenomenon of neutrino oscillations is interpreted as the proof that neutrinos must have mass. As this is true for the neutrinos in the mass basis, the mass matrix in the flavor (weak) basis may still contain zeros. This can…
The Geiger-Nuttall (GN) law relates the partial $\alpha$-decay half-life with the energy of the escaping $\alpha$ particle and contains for every isotopic chain two experimentally determined coefficients. The expression is supported by…
Plastino and Rocca [Physica A 491, 1023 (2018)] recently criticized our work [Phys. Lett. A 381, 207 (2017)] on the ground that one should use functional calculus instead of the ordinary calculus adopted by us in the entropy maximization…
After the rejection of their comment [arXiv:cond-mat/0609399v1] to our Phys. Rev. Lett. {\bf 97}, 100601 (2006), the Authors informed us that an extended version of their comment is going to be published in a different journal under the…
Study of the neutrinoless double beta decay and searches for the manifestation of the neutrino mass in ordinary beta decay are the main sources of information about the absolute neutrino mass scale, and the only practical source of…
The exponential growth in the number of scientific papers makes it increasingly difficult for researchers to keep track of all the publications relevant to their work. Consequently, the attention that can be devoted to individual papers,…
The various mechanisms for neutrinoless double beta decay in gauge theories are reviewed and the present experimental data is used to set limits on physics scenarios beyond the standard model. The positive indications for nonzero neutrino…
In a comment by A.A. Zvyagin the phase diagram in our Letter [Phys. Rev. Lett. 86, 516 (2001)] was critisized of being incomplete and a new fixed point was suggested. We show that this point is in fact not a fixed point and that the phase…
We consider the possibility of several different mechanisms contributing to the $\betabeta$-decay amplitude in the general case of CP nonconservation: light Majorana neutrino exchange, heavy left-handed (LH) and heavy right-handed (RH)…
Main achievements during 75 years of research on double beta decay have been reviewed. The existing experimental data have been presented and the capabilities of the next-generation detectors have been demonstrated.
