Neutrino–nuclear responses associated with astro-neutrinos, single beta decays and double
beta decays are crucial in studies of neutrino properties of interest for astro-particle physics …

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 …

A complete and improved calculation of phase-space factors for 2 ν β β and 0 ν β β decay is
presented. The calculation makes use of exact Dirac wave functions with finite nuclear size …

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 observation of neutrinoless double beta decay (DBD) will have important
consequences. First it will signal that lepton number is not conserved and the neutrinos are …

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 …

The knowledge of the nuclear matrix elements for the neutrinoless double beta decay is
fundamental for neutrino physics. In this paper, an innovative technique to extract …

Abstract The National Superconducting Cyclotron Laboratory (NSCL) at Michigan State
University (MSU) is a scientific user facility that offers beams of rare isotopes at a wide range …

The present article reports new data on the Ti 48 (O 18, O 17) Ti 49 reaction at 275 MeV
incident energy as part of the systematic research pursued within the NUMEN (NUclear …

The simultaneous beta decay of two neutrons in a nucleus without the emission of neutrinos
(called neutrinoless double beta decay) is a lepton number violating process which is not …
