Neutrinoless double-beta ($0 \nu \beta \beta$) decay is a promising beyond Standard Model process. Two-neutrino double-beta ($2 \nu \beta \beta$) decay is an associated process that is allowed by the Standard Model, and it was observed in…

We explore the decay of bound neutrons into invisible particles (e.g., $n\rightarrow 3 \nu$ or $nn \rightarrow 2 \nu$) in the JUNO liquid scintillator detector, which do not produce an observable signal. The invisible decay includes two…
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…
The neutron rich exotic unbound 7He nucleus has been the subject of many experimental investigations. While the ground-state 3/2- resonance is well established, there is a controversy concerning the excited 1/2- resonance reported in some…
A dynamical study of the decay of a metastable state by quantum tunneling through an anisotropic, non separable, two-dimensional potential barrier is performed by the numerical solution of the time-dependent Schrodinger equation. Initial…
Three-body continuum problems are investigated for light nuclei of astrophysical relevance. We focus on three-body decays of resonances or recombination via resonances or the continuum background. The concepts of widths, decay mechanisms…

We obtain a {\it complete set} of one-loop RGE's for a set of combinations of neutrino parameters for the case of two-fold degenerate hierarchical three-neutrino models. The requirement of consistency of exact solutions to these RGE's with…

Neutrinoless double beta ($\znbb$) decay violates lepton number; its absence stringently constrains the parameters of theories beyond the standard model in which the neutrino has a Majorana mass. R-parity violating weak-scale supersymmetry…
The two-neutrino double beta decay matrix elements and half-lives of $^{48}$Ca, are calculated within a shell-model approach for transitions to the ground state and to the $2^+$ first excited state of $^{48}$Ti. We use the full $pf$ model…
