ABSTRACT: This Letter reports results from the NEMO-3 experiment based on an exposure of 1275 days with 661g of 130Te in the form of enriched and natural tellurium foils. The double beta decay rate of 130Te is found to be greater than zero with a significance of 7.7 standard deviations and the half-life is measured to be T1/2 = (7.0 +/- 0.9(stat) +/- 1.1(syst)) x 10^20 yr. This represents the most precise measurement of this half-life yet published and the first real-time observation of this decay.04/2011; 4:128-131. -

Article: Phenomenological interpretation of the multi-muon events reported by the CDF collaboration
[show abstract] [hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: We present a phenomenological conjecture of new physics that is suggested by the topology and kinematic properties of the multi-muon events recently reported by the CDF collaboration. We show that the salient features of the data can be accounted for by postulating the pair production of three new states h1, h2, and h3 with masses in the range of 15, 7.3 and 3.6 GeV/c^2, respectively. The heavier states cascade-decay into the lighter ones, whereas the lightest state decays into a tau pair with a lifetime of the order of 20 ps.01/2008; -
Article: Physics of Heavy Flavour at CDF
Stefano Torre[show abstract] [hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Results on physics of heavy flavour at CDF are reported. Selected measurements of Branching Ratios and CP asymmetry in $B^0$ and $B_s^0$, lifetime difference of $B^0_s$ CP eigenstates and a precise measurement of the $B_c$ mass are presented.07/2005;
