Neutrinoless Double Beta Decay ($0\nu\beta\beta$) is presently the only known experiment to distinguisch between Dirac neutrinos, different from their antiparticles, and Majorana neutrinos, identical with their antiparticles. In addition…
Neutrinoless double-beta ($0\nu\beta\beta$) decay and the standard two-neutrino double-beta ($2\nu\beta\beta$) decay of $^{98}$Mo have been studied. The double-beta decay $Q$-value has been determined as $Q_{\beta\beta}=113.668(68)$ keV…

Neutrinoless double beta decay is a very important process both from the particle and nuclear physics point of view. From the elementary particle point of view it pops up in almost every model. giving rise, among others, to the following…
I review the subject of double beta decay with emphasis upon its implications for the neutrino. It is shown that even if right-handed currents provide the phenomenological mechanism for no-neutrino decay, the fundamental mechanism…

Double-beta processes play a key role in the exploration of neutrino and weak interaction properties, and in the searches for effects beyond the Standard Model. During the last half century many attempts were undertaken to search for…

This study re examines the effect of nuclear deformation on the calculated Gamow Teller (GT) strength distributions of neutron deficient (178 192Hg, 185 194Pb and 196 206Po) nuclei. The nuclear ground state properties and shape parameters…
Using data from the NEMO-3 experiment, we have measured the two-neutrino double beta decay ($2\nu\beta\beta$) half-life of $^{82}$Se as $T_{1/2}^{2\nu} = \left[ 9.39 \pm 0.17\,\left(\mbox{stat}\right) \pm…
We use the axially-deformed Skyrme Quasiparticle Random-Phase Approximation (QRPA) together with the SkM* energy-density functional, both as originally presented and with the time-odd part adjusted to reproduce the Gamow-Teller resonance…
Gamow-Teller strength distributions, beta-decay half-lives, and beta-delayed neutron emission are investigated in neutron-rich Zr and Mo isotopes within a deformed quasiparticle random-phase approximation. The approach is based on a…
