Probing Beyond the Standard Model Physics with Double-beta Decays
E. Bossio, M. Agostini
Nuclear double-beta decays are a unique probe to search for new physics beyond the Standard Model. Still-unknown particles, non-standard interactions, or the violation of fundament…
Topologies of Ge double-beta decay events and calibration procedure biases
Tommaso Comellato, Matteo Agostini, Stefan Schönert
The analysis of the time profile of electrical signals produced by energy depositions in germanium detectors allows discrimination of events with different topologies. This is espe…
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…
First detection of CNO neutrinos with Borexino
G. Settanta, M. Agostini, K. Altenmüller +93
Neutrinos are elementary particles which are known since many years as fundamental messengers from the interior of the Sun. The Standard Solar Model, which gives a theoretical desc…
Experimental evidence of neutrinos produced in the CNO fusion cycle in the Sun
M. Agostini, K. Altenmüller, S. Appel +93
For most of their existence stars are fueled by the fusion of hydrogen into helium proceeding via two theoretically well understood processes, namely the chain and the CNO cyc…
Probing Majorana neutrinos with double- decay
GERDA collaboration, M. Agostini, A. M. Bakalyarov +111
A discovery that neutrinos are not the usual Dirac but Majorana fermions, i.e. identical to their antiparticles, would be a manifestation of new physics with profound implications…
