Although optimized to search for neutrinoless double beta decay, the detector’s ability to plot the trajectories of individual emitted particles also makes it well suited to the new line of research.

Silver-110’s decay reveals a promising path to measure antineutrino mass. New data could reshape future neutrino studies.

But the three types of neutrino all mix together, indicating they must be massive and, furthermore, that neutrinos and antineutrinos may in fact be the same particle as one another: Majorana fermions.

A new type of decay: neutrinoless double beta decay. The theoretical idea of a source for dark matter, dark energy, and the baryon asymmetry is fascinating, but you need an experiment to detect it.

In neutrino-less double beta decay, both processes would happen in tandem: The antineutrino produced by the first type of decay would serve as the neutrino that enters into the second. Such a dual ...

The weak force is one of the four fundamental forces that govern all matter in the universe. Through the process of beta decay, it plays a crucial role in powering stars and creating elements.
