The neutrinoless double-$\beta$ decay is a hypothetical rare nuclear decay, which can be used for determining the neutrino-mass scale. The scheme to use this decay for determining the neutrino-mass scale is one of few limited methods…

Current experimental data on neutrino oscillations are consistent with the tri-bimaximal mixing. If future experimental data will determine a non-zero $V_{e3}$ and/or find CP violations in neutrino oscillations, there is the need to modify…
There are several factors which lead to a huge enhancement of parity and time invariance violating effects in the Ra atom: very close electronic levels of opposite parity, the large nuclear charge Z and the collective nature of T,P-odd…
Parity-violating elastic electron-nucleon scattering at low momentum transfer allows one to access the nucleon's weak charge, the vector coupling of the $Z$-boson to the nucleon. In the Standard Model and at tree level, the weak charge of…
We estimate the expected errors of nuclear matrix elements coming from the uncertainty on the NN interaction. We use a coarse grained (GR) interaction fitted to NN scattering data, with several prescriptions for the long-part of the…

Parity-violating and time-reversal conserving (PVTC) and parity-violating and time-reversal-violating (PVTV) forces in nuclei form only a tiny component of the total interaction between nucleons. The study of these tiny forces can…
