Reactor Neutrinos: Toward Oscillations
Petr Vogel
I shall sketch the history of reactor neutrino physics over five decades since the Reines-Cowan proof of neutrino existence in the late 50s, till the advent of the present era of p…
First Search for Lorentz and CPT Violation in Double Beta Decay with EXO-200
L. J. Kaufman
This proceedings contribution reports the first experimental search for Lorentz- and CPT-violating signals specifically studying the effect of the Standard-Model Extension (SME) os…
Reactor Neutrino Spectra
A. C. Hayes, Petr Vogel
We present a review of the antineutrino spectra emitted from reactors. Knowledge of these and their associated uncertainties are crucial for neutrino oscillation studies. The spect…
Evaluation of reactor neutrino flux: issues and uncertainties
Petr Vogel
Evaluation of the reactor flux and spectrum is an essential ingredient of their application in the neutrino oscillation studies. Two anomalies, i.e. discrepancies between…
The light neutrino exchange mechanism of the -decay with left- and right-handed leptonic and hadronic currents revisited
Dusan Stefanik, Rastislav Dvornicky, Fedor Simkovic +1
The extension of Majorana neutrino mass mechanism of the neutrinoless double-beta decay () with the inclusion of right-handed leptonic and hadronic currents is revisited. Whi…
Lepton Flavor and Number Conservation, and Physics Beyond the Standard Model
Andre de Gouvea, Petr Vogel
The physics responsible for neutrino masses and lepton mixing remains unknown. More experimental data are needed to constrain and guide possible generalizations of the standard mod…
On a theory of neutrino oscillations with entanglement
Boris Kayser, Joachim Kopp, R. G. Hamish Robertson +1
We show that, despite appearances, a theoretical approach to neutrino oscillation in which the neutrino and its interaction partners are entangled yields the standard result for th…
Nuclear physics aspects of double beta decay
Petr Vogel
Comprehensive description of the phenomenology of the decay is given, with emphasis on the nuclear physics aspects. After a brief review of the neutrino oscillation results an…
Neutrino Mass and Neutrinoless Double Beta Decay
Petr Vogel
The motivation for the search for decay is briefly reviewed. It is stressed that the exchange of light Majorana neutrinos is not the only possible mechanism of the decay. Th…

Petr Vogel
The accuracy of the procedure that converts the experimentally determined electron spectrum associated with fission of the nuclear fuels ^{235}U, ^{239}Pu, ^{241}Pu, and ^{238}U in…
Neutrinoless double beta decay
Petr Vogel
The status of the search for neutrinoless double beta decay is reviewed. The effort to reach the sensitivity needed to cover the effective Majorana neutrino mass corresponding to t…
Towards absolute neutrino masses
Petr Vogel
Various ways of determining the absolute neutrino masses are briefly reviewed and their sensitivities compared. The apparent tension between the announced but unconfirmed observati…

Mikhail Gorchtein, Nicole F. Bell, Michael J. Ramsey-Musolf +2
We analyze the implications of neutrino masses for the magnitude of neutrino magnetic moments. By considering electroweak radiative corrections to the neutrino mass, we derive mode…

Magnetic Moments of Dirac Neutrinos
Nicole F. Bell, V. Cirigliano, M. J. Ramsey-Musolf +2
The existence of a neutrino magnetic moment implies contributions to the neutrino mass via radiative corrections. We derive model-independent "naturalness" upper bounds on the magn…

We derive model-independent, "naturalness" upper bounds on the magnetic moments μ_νof Dirac neutrinos generated by physics above the scale of electroweak symmetry breaking. In the…
