A recent reconsideration of a theoretical process of a neutrinoless double beta decay points out that a signal of the decay should be shifted by a few keV from the Q-value for the 2{\ss}0{\nu}-decay. The conclusion was based on an analysis…

Neutrinoless double-$\beta$ decay ($0\nu\beta\beta$ decay) is a hypothetical process that can occur if the neutrino is its own antiparticle. The COBRA collaboration operates a demonstrator to search for these decays at the Laboratori…

The simultaneous beta decay of two neutrons in a nucleus without the emission of neutrinos (called neutrinoless double beta decay) is a lepton number violating process which is not allowed in the Standard Model of particle physics. More…
