The AMoRE experiment has set new constraints on the neutrinoless double beta decay of molybdenum-100 (100 Mo), a process that could confirm neutrinos and antineutrinos are identical.

Beta (\(\beta^-\)) decay is the release of an electron by the change of a neutron to a proton. The neutron (charge = 0) is made up of one up quark (charge = \(\frac{2}{3}\)) and two down quarks ...

a neutron can split into a positive proton and a negative electron. The proton remains inside the nucleus, but the electron is ejected at high speed. This is called beta decay. Beta decay causes ...
