Theory of neutrinoless double-beta decay

JD Vergados, H Ejiri, F Šimkovic - Reports on Progress in Physics, 2012 - iopscience.iop.org
Neutrinoless double-beta decay, which is a very old and yet elusive process, is reviewed. Its
observation will signal that the lepton number is not conserved and that the neutrinos are …

Neutrinoless double beta decay and neutrino mass

JD Vergados, H Ejiri, F Šimkovic - International Journal of Modern …, 2016 - World Scientific
