Measuring nuclear reaction cross sections to extract information on neutrinoless double beta decay (original) (raw)
Journal of Physics: Conference Series
AI-generated Abstract
Neutrinoless double beta decay (0νββ) is a key phenomenon for exploring the absolute neutrino mass scale, with implications for the nature of neutrinos as Majorana particles. The NURE project utilizes double charge-exchange (DCE) nuclear reactions to derive information on Nuclear Matrix Elements (NME) relevant to 0νββ decay. The measurement of DCE cross-sections is essential for establishing accurate NMEs, yet current approaches have encountered significant discrepancies. To enhance experimental capabilities, substantial upgrades to detection technologies and beam intensity are planned as part of the NUMEN collaboration, aiming for a comprehensive study of nuclei candidates for 0νββ decay.
