The CUORE Neutrinoless Double Beta Decay Experiment
The CUORE Neutrinoless Double Beta Decay Experiment is an international collaboration of scientists and engineers from around the world working to detect the rarest of all nuclear processes, the neutrinoless double beta decay. This experiment is located at the Gran Sasso National Laboratory in Italy and
From Wikipedia
In nuclear physics, double beta decay is a type of radioactive decay in which two neutrons are simultaneously transformed into two protons, or vice versa, inside an atomic nucleus. As in single beta decay, this process allows the atom to move closer to the optimal ratio of protons and neutrons. As a result of this transformation, the nucleus emits two detectable beta particles, which are electrons or positrons.
