In the Standard Model of particle physics, neutrinos are massless. But, from neutrino oscillations experiments, we know that they are massive. The question is: how do they acquire these non-zero masses ? One of the possible explanations introduces new heavy neutrinos states, with a mass of few keV to GUT scale, that would mix with light neutrinos. Not only would they explain neutrino masses...

Neutrinos - abundant but elusive particles - appear to be good candidates to look for physics beyond the Standard Model. Although our current understanding succeeds to compile most of the data into a three neutrino mixing framework, there are still experimental anomalies that need to be explained, such as the Reactor Antineutrino Anomaly (2011). The latter can be solved by introducing a light...

35. An innovative Neganov-Luke-assisted light detector for the sensitivity enhancement of CUORE experiment

The neutrinoless double-beta decay ($0\nu$-DBD) is a hypothetical rare nuclear transition producing only two electrons in the final state. Its discovery would have important consequences, demonstrating the Majorana nature of neutrino, allowing the measurement of its absolute mass scale and proving the non-conservation of the lepton number. Nowadays CUORE - with its 988 TeO${}_2$-based...

        Neutrinoless double beta decay is a hypothetical rare nuclear transition, whose observation can give us information about the neutrino absolute mass scale and hierarchy. The existence of this process will prove that lepton number conservation can be violated and consequently the Standard Model should be extended.
