As experimental searches for neutrinoless double-beta ($0\nu\beta\beta$) decay are entering a new generation, with hopes to completely probe the inverted mass hierarchy, the need for reliable nuclear matrix elements, which govern the rate…
Ruling out the inverted neutrino hierarchy with neutrinoless double beta decay experiments is possible if a limit on the effective mass below the minimal theoretically possible value is reached. We stress that this lower limit depends…
The neutrinoless $\beta\beta$ ($0\nu\beta\beta$) decay nuclear matrix elements (NMEs) are calculated in the interacting boson model (IBM), which is based on the nuclear energy density functional (EDF) theory. The Hamiltonian of the IBM that…
A new generation of neutrinoless double beta decay experiments with improved sensitivity is currently under design and construction. They will probe inverted hierarchy region of the neutrino mass pattern. There is also a revived interest to…
The angular correlation of the electrons emitted in the neutrinoless double beta decay ($0\nu2\beta$) is presented using a general Lorentz invariant effective Lagrangian for the leptonic and hadronic charged weak currents. We show that the…
A method to calculate the nuclear double beta decay ($2\nu\beta\beta$- and $0\nu\beta\beta$-) amplitudes within the continuum random phase approximation (cQRPA) is formulated. Calculations of the $\beta\beta$ transition amplitudes within…
We investigate neutrinoless double-beta decay ($0\nu\beta\beta$) in minimal extensions of the Standard Model of particle physics where gauge-singlet right-handed neutrinos give rise to Dirac and Majorana neutrino mass terms. We argue that…
Neutrinoless double beta ($0\nu\beta\beta$) decay, an important low-energy process, serves not only as a potential test of the Majorana nature of neutrinos, but also as a sensitive probe for new physics beyond the Standard Model. In this…
In this investigation, we compute the nuclear matrix elements (NMEs) relevant to the light neutrino-exchange mechanism governing neutrinoless double beta ($0\nu\beta\beta$) decay in $^{136}$Xe. Our method is based on the nonclosure approach…
Neutrinoless double beta decay is a sensitive probe of the patterns of neutrino masses and mixings if the neutrinos are Majorana particles as well as other new physics scenarios beyond the standard model. In this talk, the present…
Nuclear $\beta$ decay is a key element of the astrophysical rapid neutron capture process ($r$-process). In this paper, we present state-of-the-art global $\beta$-decay calculations based on the quantified relativistic nuclear energy…
The two neutrino and neutrinoless double beta decay of $^{94,96}$Zr, $^{98,100}$Mo, $^{104}$Ru, $^{110}$Pd, $^{128,130}$Te and $^{150}$Nd isotopes for the $0^{+}\to 0^{+}$ transition is studied within the PHFB framework along with an…
Neutrinoless double beta decay ($0\nu\beta\beta$) is one of the most sensitive approaches to test particle physics beyond the standard model. During the last years, besides the most restrictive limit on the effective Majorana neutrino mass,…
Neutrinoless double beta decay is a process of fundamental importance for particle physics. It can be mediated by light massive Majorana neutrinos (standard interpretation) or by something else (non-standard interpretations). We review its…
The possibility of applying the Quasiparticle Tamm-Dancoff Approximation (QTDA) to describe the nuclear double beta decay is explored. Several serious inconveniences found in the Quasiparticle Random Phase Approximation (QRPA), such as: i)…
The motivation, present status, and future plans of the search for the neutrinoless double beta decay are reviewed. It is argued that, motivated by the recent observations of neutrino oscillations, there is a reasonable hope that…
The background in the region of the Q-value for neutrinoless double beta decay of 76Ge has been investigated by different methods: Simulation with GEANT 4 of the HEIDELBERG-MOSCOW experiment, analysis of other Ge double beta…
While neutrino oscillation experiments have demonstrated that neutrinos have small, nonzero masses, much remains unknown about their properties and decay modes. One potential decay mode --- neutrinoless double beta decay ($0 \nu \beta…
We investigate neutrinoless double-beta decay ($0\nu\beta\beta$) in the minimal extension of the standard model of particle physics, the $\nu$SM, where gauge-singlet right-handed neutrinos give rise to Dirac and Majorana neutrino mass…
Neutrinoless double beta decay, which is a very old and yet elusive process, is reviewed. Its observation will signal that lepton number is not conserved and the neutrinos are Majorana particles. More importantly it is our best hope for…
