OAK RIDGE, Tenn., March 11, 2019--An international collaboration including scientists at the Department of Energy's (DOE's) Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) solved a 50-year-old puzzle that ...

In recent years, some large physics experiments worldwide have been trying to gather evidence of a nuclear process known as neutrinoless double beta (0νββ) decay. This is a rare process that entails ...

Neutrino-free process: observing neutrinoless double beta decay could shed light on important mysteries of particle physics. A new technique to enable the detection of a hypothetical process called ...
