Majorana neutrino masses from neutrinoless double beta decay and cosmology
When three Majorana neutrinos describe the solar and atmospheric neutrino data via oscillations, a nonzero measurement of neutrinoless double beta (0νββ) decay can determine the sum of neutrino masses ∑ mν if the solar solution has small-angle mixing, and place a lower bound on ∑ mν for large-angle solar mixing. If in addition a nonzero ∑ mν is deduced from cosmology, the neutrino mass spectrum...
متن کاملLimits on neutrino masses from neutrinoless double-β decay.
Neutrinoless double-β decay is of fundamental importance for the determining neutrino mass. By combining a calculation of nuclear matrix elements within the framework of the microscopic interacting boson model with an improved calculation of phase space factors, we set limits on the average light neutrino mass and on the average inverse heavy neutrino mass (flavor-violating parameter).
متن کاملNeutrinoless double beta decay
The status of the search for neutrinoless double beta decay is reviewed. The effort to reach the sensitivity needed to cover the effective Majorana neutrino mass corresponding to the degenerate and inverted mass hierarchy is described. Various issues concerning the theory (and phenomenology) of the relation between the 0νββ decay rate and the absolute neutrino mass scale are discussed, in parti...
متن کاملMajorons without Majorana Masses and Neutrinoless Double Beta Decay
We explain excess events near the endpoints of the double beta decay (ββ) spectra of several elements, using the neutrinoless emission of massless Goldstone bosons. Models with scalars carrying lepton number −2 are proposed for this purpose so that ordinary neutrinoless ββ is forbidden, and we can raise the scale of global symmetry breaking above the 10 keV scale needed for observable emission ...
متن کاملNeutrinoless Double-Beta Decay
This paper introduces the neutrinoless double-beta decay the rarest nuclear weak process and describes the status of the research for this transition, both from the point of view of theoretical nuclear physics and in terms of the present and future experimental scenarios. Implications of this phenomenon on crucial aspects of particle physics are briefly discussed. The calculations of the nuclea...
