Neutrinoless double-beta decay is a forbidden, lepton-number-violating nuclear transition
whose observation would have fundamental implications for neutrino physics, theories …

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 report the results of a search for neutrinoless double-beta decay in a 9.8 kg yr exposure
of Te 130 using a bolometric detector array, CUORE-0. The characteristic detector energy …

A self-consistent calculation of nuclear matrix elements of the neutrinoless double-beta
decays (0 ν β β) of Ge 76, Se 82, Zr 96, Mo 100, Cd 116, Te 128, Te 130, and Xe 136 is …

A detailed description of the CUORICINO Te 130 neutrinoless double-beta (0 ν β β) decay
experiment is given and recent results are reported. CUORICINO is an array of 62 tellurium …

We describe in detail the methods used to obtain the lower bound on the lifetime of
neutrinoless double-beta (0 ν β β) decay in Te 130 and the associated limit on the effective …

We review recent developments in double-beta decay, focusing on what can be learned
about the three light neutrinos in future experiments. We examine the effects of uncertainties …

accepted May 11, 2005) Neutrino-less double beta decays (0), which violate the lepton
number conservation law by¡ L º 2, are of great interest for studying the fundamental …

Bolometers are low temperature particle detectors with high energy resolution and detection
efficiency. Some types of bolometric detectors are also able to perform an efficient particle …

We report the present results of CUORICINO, a search for neutrinoless double-beta (0 ν β β)
decay of Te 130. The detector is an array of 62 TeO 2 bolometers with a total active mass of …
