Indeed, the authors find no evidence for neutrinoless double-β decay, showing that, if the decay exists, its half-life must be longer than 1.07 × 10 26 years, which is more than 7 × 10 15 times ...

β (beta) decay: where an atomic nucleus converts a neutron into a proton while spitting out an electron (a β-particle) and an anti-electron neutrino, moving up 1 element on the periodic table, ...

This sensitive β-decay experiment was utilized to constrain the spins assigned for low-lying energy levels of 158Pm and the ground state of 158Pm. A correlation method was employed to deduce the ...

Indeed, the EXO-200 experiment was the first to observe this decay in xenon-136 in 2011. But the other type of double β decay – the elusive and currently unseen neutrinoless double β decay – is what ...

Neutrinoless double beta decay experiments probe physics beyond the Standard Model by searching for an extremely rare nuclear ... G. Anton et al., 2019, “Search for Neutrinoless Double-β Decay with ...

Angular Correlations in the β Decay of B8: First Tensor-Current Limits from a Mirror-Nucleus Pair. Physical Review Letters, 2023; 130 (19) DOI: 10.1103/PhysRevLett.130.192502; ...

Sources of β particles include phosphorus-32 decaying into sulphur-32, or the decay of muons, elementary particles produced at the end of a chain of decays that begin when cosmic ray particles ...

In β + decay, a positron is emitted by the nucleus. Example: 11 Na 22 → e ‒ + Neutrino. In beta-minus decay, a neutron transforms into a proton within the nucleus according to, n → p + e ...
