Nonreciprocity is most commonly associated with a large difference in the transmitted energy when the locations of the source and receiver are interchanged. This energy bias is accompanied by a difference in the transmitted phase. We…

The calculated nuclear matrix elements for the neutrinoless double-beta ($0\nu\beta\beta$) decay suffer from several limitations. Predicted matrix-element values depend on the many-body method used to calculate them and, in addition, they…
