Plenary Session 7: Neutrino physics
- Danny Marfatia
Abstract: Electroweak scale right-handed neutrinos have become a commodity in recent years. Most scenarios involve the so-called sterile neutrino paradigm, where right-handed neutrinos are assumed to be completely neutral under the Standard Model gauge group. A more interesting possibility is - of course - one in which they do interact. Such a fertile (non-sterile) possibility is certainly...
GERDA is a low background experiment aimed for the serach of neutrinoless double beta ($0 \nu\beta\beta $) decay. The observation of such a process would demostrate the presence of a Majorana term in the neutrino mass and prove that lepton number is not conserved. The experimental setup is located at the LNGS underground laboratory of INFN in Italy. The search is performed with high purity...
