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 …

We review the status and prospects of heavy-ion double charge exchange (HI-DCE)
reactions. Their important role for nuclear reaction, nuclear structure and double beta-decay …

The article describes the main achievements of the NUMEN project together with an
updated and detailed overview of the related R&D activities and theoretical developments …

We present an extensive study of nuclear matrix elements (NME) for the neutrinoless double-
beta decay of the nuclei Ca 48, Ge 76, Se 82, Zr 96, Mo 100, Cd 116, Sn 124, Te 128, Te …

When Kai Zuber's pioneering text on neutrinos was published in 2003, the author correctly
predicted that the field would see tremendous growth in the immediate future. In that book …

Electron capture on nuclei plays an essential role in the dynamics of several astrophysical
objects, including core-collapse and thermonuclear supernovae, the crust of accreting …

The intimate relation between the Gamow-Teller part of the matrix element MGT 0 ν and the
2 ν β β closure matrix element M cl 2 ν is explained and explored. If the corresponding radial …

Nuclear reaction rates play a critical role in the understanding of stellar evolution and
explosions. However, in many cases nuclear reaction rates still carry large uncertainties due …

In this work we investigate general properties of the nuclear matrix elements (NMEs) related
to the neutrinoless double β− decays (0νβ− β− decays) of several nuclei of interest for …

The description of nuclear reactions induced by supernova neutrinos has witnessed
significant progress during the recent years. On one hand this progress is due to …
