A model of a neutrinoless 2\b{eta}-decay was proposed which predicted a shift of the 2\b{eta}0{\nu}-signal from the Q value (2\b{eta}-decay energy). The shifts were calculated for 76Ge ({\Delta}E=-2.6 keV), 100Mo ({\Delta}E=-4.7 keV), 130Te…
An approach for describing the hindrance of the nuclear 2\nu\beta\beta-decay amplitude is proposed. The approach is based on a new formula obtained by a model-independent transformation of the initial expression for the amplitude. This…

The precision of double-beta ($\beta\beta$) decay experimental half-lives and their uncertainties is reevaluated. A complementary analysis of the decay uncertainties indicates deficiencies due to small size of statistical samples, and…

We present a new channel of the neutrinoless double beta decay. In this scenario neutrinos not only oscillate inside the nucleus but also interact with an external non-uniform magnetic field. We assume that the field rotates about the…
