The DAMA experiment clearly observes a small oscillatory signal. The observed yearly modulation is in phase with the Earth's motion around the Sun. Recent reference [Vavra, 2014] suggested that the DAMA experiment observes a WIMP of much…
The neutron beta-decay lifetime plays an important role both in understanding weak interactions within the framework of the Standard Model and in theoretical predictions of the primordial abundance of 4He in Big Bang Nucleosynthesis. In…
The muon g-2 experiment at Brookhaven National Laboratory measures the anomalous magnetic moment of the muon, $a_\mu$, very precisely. This measurement tests the Standard Model. The analysis for the data collected in 2000 (a $\mu^+$ run) is…
The OPERA experiment aims at the direct confirmation of the leading oscillation mechanism in the atmospheric sector looking for the appearance of $\nu_{\tau}$ in an almost pure $\nu_{\mu}$ beam (the CERN CNGS beam). In five years of physics…

Neutrinoless double beta ($0\nu\beta\beta$) decay is a hypothetical rare nuclear transition ($T_{1/2}>10^{26}$ y). Its observation would provide an important insight about the nature of neutrinos (Dirac or Majorana particle) demonstrating…
The results of LSND and MiniBooNE, along with the recent papers on a possible reactor neutrino flux anomaly give tantalizing hints of new physics. Models beyond the neutrino-SM have been developed to explain these results and involve one or…
The muon (g-2) experiment at BNL has completed four data runs for the positive muon, beginning in 1997 and has just finished its first run for the negative muon. Recently the analysis of a 1.3 ppm result based on the 1999 run was completed…
At muon colliders, muon decays naturally produce intense electrons and positrons with unique features, namely high energies, high repetition rates, and small intrinsic uncertainties, that are unavailable at existing accelerator facilities.…

Two neutrino double $\beta$ decay can create irremovable background even in high energy resolution detectors searching for neutrinoless double $\beta$ decay due to random coincidence of $2\nu2\beta$ events in case of poor time resolution.…
