A possible model independent test of the theoretically calculated nuclear matrix elements of $0\nu\beta\beta$-decay is proposed. The test can be accomplished if $0\nu\beta\beta$-decay of three (or more) nuclei is observed. The selection of…
The nuclear matrix elements that govern the rate of neutrinoless double beta decay must be accurately calculated if experiments are to reach their full potential. Theorists have been working on the problem for a long time but have recently…
The existing calculations of the nuclear matrix elements of the neutrinoless double beta-decay differ by about a factor three. This uncertainty prevents quantative interpretation of the results of experiments searching for this process. We…

Present and future neutrino experiments at accelerators are mainly concerned with understanding the neutrino oscillation phenomenon and its implications. Here a brief account of neutrino oscillations is given together with a description of…
A review of recent measurements of the neutrino mixing angle theta-13 is presented. In the standard parametrisation of three-neutrino mixing this is the last of the three mixing angles to be determined, and is known to be the smallest. The…
