Cosmogenic activation in double beta decay experiments

Susana Cebrian

Double beta decay is a very rare nuclear process and, therefore, experiments intended to detect it must be operated deep underground and in ultra-low background conditions. Long-li…

Sensitivity of the NEXT experiment to Xe-124 double electron capture

G. Martínez-Lema, M. Martínez-Vara, M. Sorel +88

Double electron capture by proton-rich nuclei is a second-order nuclear process analogous to double beta decay. Despite their similarities, the decay signature is quite different,…
