EDITORS' SUGGESTION

Measurement of the $2 ν β β$ decay half-life of ${}^{150}{Nd}$ and a search for $0 ν β β$ decay processes with the full exposure from the NEMO-3 detector

R. Arnold et al. (NEMO-3 Collaboration)

Phys. Rev. D 94, 072003 (2016) - Published 11 October, 2016

The NEMO-3 collaboration reports the half-life of $^{150}$ Nd via the two-neutrino double-beta decay mode to an unprecedented accuracy. For the zero-neutrino double-beta decay mode of $^{150}$ Nd, the distinctive signature of the possible Majorana nature of neutrinos, the NEMO-3 collaboration reports no observations but sets new upper bounds for the half-life in various scenarios beyond the standard model.

EDITORS' SUGGESTION

Lattice calculation of the pion transition form factor $π^{0} \to γ^{} γ^{}$

Antoine Gérardin, Harvey B. Meyer, and Andreas Nyffeler

Phys. Rev. D 94, 074507 (2016) - Published 26 October, 2016

The pion transition form factor for the neutral pion double virtual photon decay is computed in two flavor lattice QCD, extrapolated to the continuum physical point. Implications for the computation of the contribution of hadronic light-by-light scattering to the muon anomalous magnetic moment are discussed.
