Neutrinoless double beta decay ($\znbb$) induced by superparticle exchange is investigated. Such a supersymmetric (SUSY) mechanism of $\znbb$ decay arises within SUSY theories with R-parity non-conservation (\rp). We consider the minimal…

We present an $\mathcal{O}(\alpha)$ Standard Model calculation of the inner radiative corrections to Gamow-Teller $\beta$ decays. We find that \textit{a priori} contributions arise from the photonic vertex correction and $\gamma W$ box…

Ruling out the inverted neutrino hierarchy with neutrinoless double beta decay experiments is possible if a limit on the effective mass below the minimal theoretically possible value is reached. We stress that this lower limit depends…
