A rotating neutrino model combining special relativity, the de Broglie wavelength equation and Newton’s gravitational law with gravitational masses, has shown recently that the structure comprising three relativistic neutrinos of the heaviest neutrino rest mass, rotating on a circular orbit due to their gravitational attraction, has the mass of a neutron. This rotating lepton model (RLM), has...
The Large Enriched Germanium Experiment for Neutrinoless ββ Decay (LEGEND) is a next-generation project aimed at the discovery of neutrinoless double-beta decay (0νββ) in Ge-76. By employing isotopically enriched high-purity germanium (HPGe) detectors, LEGEND seeks to achieve an unprecedented discovery sensitivity, targeting half-lives beyond 10²⁸ years in the second phase. The observation of...
The SuperNEMO experiment is designed to search for neutrinoless double beta decay (0νββ). The detector has a segmented tracker-calorimeter structure offering the unique ability to recover the topology of potential 0νββ and 2νββ decays as well as the individual energies of electrons from the decay. After years of design, construction and commissioning we began taking Physics data in April 2025!...
SND@LHC is a compact and stand-alone experiment to perform measurements with neutrinos produced at the LHC in a hitherto unexplored pseudo-rapidity region of 7.2 < 𝜂 < 8.6, complementary to all the other experiments at the LHC. The experiment is located 480 m downstream of IP1 in the unused TI18 tunnel. The detector is composed of a hybrid system based on an 800 kg target mass of tungsten...
The Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment (DUNE) aims to provide a broad physics program primarily focused on probing CP violation in the neutrino sector and determining the neutrino mass ordering. The experiment will consist of four far detectors, having a baseline technology of Liquid Argon Time Projection Chambers (LArTPCs) with 17 kton of liquid argon each. To successfully implement this...
The Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment (DUNE) is an upcoming international experiment that is expected to start taking data in the late 2020s. Consequently, a significant portion of the current work revolves around modelling, prototyping, and other forms of preparation, much of it using Monte-Carlo simulation before a full-scale dataset has been produced. One of the key contributions to this...
The KArlsruhe TRItium Neutrino (KATRIN) experiment aims to measure the effective mass of the electron antineutrino with a sensitivity of at least 0.3 eV/c² (90% C.L.) by analyzing the endpoint region of the kinematic tritium β-decay spectrum. Using a high-luminosity gaseous molecular tritium source with a high-resolution electrostatic spectrometer with magnetic adiabatic collimation, a new...
The Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment (DUNE) is a flagship international effort to advance our understanding of neutrino properties and probe for new physics. With its long-baseline configuration—spanning 1300 km from Fermilab to the Sanford Underground Research Facility (SURF)—DUNE is uniquely positioned to measure CP violation in the lepton sector, determine the neutrino mass ordering,...
NOvA is a long-baseline, accelerator-based neutrino oscillation experiment, optimized for electron neutrino measurements. It utilizes the upgraded, Megawatt-capable NuMI beam from Fermilab to measure electron-neutrino appearance and muon-neutrino disappearance at its Far Detector in Ash River, Minnesota. NOvA's goals include resolving the neutrino mass hierarchy problem, constraining the...
The $2\nu2\beta$ decay of $^{150}$Nd to the first excited 0$^{+}_{1}$ state of $^{150}$Sm (E$_{exc}$ = 740.5 keV) was studied using the low-background GeMulti setup consisting of four HPGe detectors (volume $\simeq$225 cm$^3$ each) at the Gran Sasso National Laboratories of INFN. A 2.38 kg highly purified Nd$_2$O$_3$ sample was used as the source of expected $\gamma$ rays. The de-excitation...
