Toward the discovery of matter creation with neutrinoless double-beta decay
Matteo Agostini, Giovanni Benato, Jason A. Detwiler +2
The discovery of neutrinoless double-beta decay could soon be within reach. This hypothetical ultra-rare nuclear decay offers a privileged portal to physics beyond the Standard Mod…
Testing the Inverted Neutrino Mass Ordering with Neutrinoless Double-Beta Decay
Matteo Agostini, Giovanni Benato, Jason A. Detwiler +2
We quantify the extent to which future experiments will test the existence of neutrinoless double-beta decay mediated by light neutrinos with inverted-ordered masses. While it rema…
The GAmmas from Nuclear Decays Hiding from Investigators (GANDHI) Experiment
Giovanni Benato, Alexey Drobizhev, Surjeet Rajendran +1
We propose a high statistics experiment to search for invisible decay modes in nuclear gamma cascades. A radioactive source (such as Co or Na) that triggers gamma cas…
Discovery probability of next-generation neutrinoless double- decay experiments
Matteo Agostini, Giovanni Benato, Jason A. Detwiler
The Bayesian discovery probability of future experiments searching for neutrinoless double- decay is evaluated under the popular assumption that neutrinos are their own antipart…
Effective Majorana Mass and Neutrinoless Double Beta Decay
Giovanni Benato
The probability distribution for the effective Majorana mass as a function of the lightest neutrino mass in the standard three neutrino scheme is computed via a random sampling fro…
Search of Neutrinoless Double Beta Decay with the GERDA Experiment
Giovanni Benato
The Gerda experiment designed to search for the neutrinoless double beta decay in 76Ge has successfully completed the first data collection. No signal excess is found, and a lower…
Production and Characterization of 228Th Calibration Sources with Low Neutron Emission for GERDA
Laura Baudis, Giovanni Benato, Pierluigi Carconi +7
The GERDA experiment at the Laboratori Nazionali del Gran Sasso (LNGS) searches for the neutrinoless double beta decay of 76-Ge. In view of the GERDA Phase II data collection, four…
