The weak coupling constant, $G_F,$ is determined most precisely from the mean life of the
positive muon, $\tau_\mu$. Advances in theory have reduced the theoretical uncertainty
on $G_F$ as calculated from $\tau_\mu$ to a few tenths of a ppm. The remaining uncertainty
on $G_F$ is entirely experimental, and is dominated by the uncertainty on $\tau_\mu$.
The MuLan experiment is designed...

The NEMO-3 detector aimed to study double beta (bb) decays in general
and to search for neutrinoless mode (0nbb) particularly provides
unique tracko-calorimetric technique able to register full
bb-signature. This information is crucial for investigation of
0nbb-mechanism once 0nbb-decay will be discovered. Continuing to take
data since February 2003 at the moment the NEMO-3 is the only...
