Ab-initio calculations of weak processes are making progress. Here I discuss the ab initio framework for double beta decay and the explanation of the quenching of gA that emerges from calculations within the Green's function Monte-Carlo, coupled-clusters, and in-medium similarity-renormalization-group approaches.

Large and homogeneous TPCs using enriched liquid xenon have proven to be excellent tools in the search for neutrinoless double beta decay with ultra-low background and state of the art sensitivity. I will report on the physics results obtained with EXO-200, a 200kg detector currently taking data, and on the plans for nEXO, a 5-tonne detector with sufficient sensitivity to entirely cover the...

The COSINE-100 experiment searches for dark-matter interactions using an array of scintillating NaI(Tl) crystals that serve both as a WIMP-interaction target and detector in the low-background environment of the Yangyang underground laboratory. The main goal is to check the annual modulation signal observed by DAMA/LIBRA in an NaI(Tl) crystal array. The experiment has been running for more...
