Description
Double beta decay and double electron capture (2𝜈ββ and 2𝜈ECEC) have already experimentally observed. With renewed interest towards detecting the positron-emitting double beta decays (2𝜈β+β+ and 2𝜈β+EC) with exciting new detector technologies, we ask what we could learn from observing the neutrinoless analogues (0𝜈β+β+ and 0𝜈β+EC). In particular, the combination of these other modes with 0𝜈ββ could give key insight into the underlying mechanism of 0𝜈ββ, and be a unique probe of the lepton number-violating physics.
