We quantify the extent to which future experiments will test the existence of neutrinoless double-beta decay mediated by light neutrinos with inverted-ordered masses. While it remains difficult to compare measurements performed with…
Measurements of angular correlations between initial and final particles in $\beta$ decay remain one of the most promising ways of probing the Standard Model and looking for new physics. As experiments reach unprecedented precision well…

Recent neutrino experiment results show a preference for the normal neutrino mass ordering. The global efforts to search for neutrinoless double beta decays undergo a broad gap with the approach to the prediction in the three-neutrino…
We have extended the formalism for the two-neutrino double beta decay by including the weak-magnetism term, as well as other second-forbidden corrections. The weak magnetism diminishes the calculated half-lives in $\sim 10%$, independently…

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…
Double-beta decay experiments have been traditionally interpreted in terms of the Gelmini-Roncadelli triplet majoron model, which has been ruled out by LEP. We briefly survey here the kinds of physics to which these experiments might be…

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…

Neutrinoless double beta decay violates lepton number by two units, a positive observation therefore necessarily implies physics beyond the standard model. Here, three possible contributions to neutrinoless double beta decay are briefly…
Study of the neutrinoless $\beta\beta$ decay allows us to put a stringent limit on the effective neutrino Majorana mass, a quantity of fundamental importance. To test our ability to evaluate the nuclear matrix elements that govern the decay…
