Neutrino observatories

Neutrino Ettore Majorana Observatory

The Neutrino Ettore Majorana Observatory (NEMO experiment) is an international collaboration of scientists searching for neutrinoless double beta decay (0νββ). The collaboration has been active since 1989. Observation of 0νββ would indicate neutrinos are Majorana particles and could be used to measure the neutrino mass. It is located in the Modane Underground Laboratory (LSM) in the Fréjus Road Tunnel. The experiment has (as of 2018) had 3 detectors, NEMO-1, NEMO-2, NEMO-3 (and a demonstrator module of SuperNEMO-detector) and is planning (as of 2018) to construct a new detector SuperNEMO. The NEMO-1 and NEMO-2 prototype detectors were used until 1997. Latest experiment NEMO-3 was under design and construction from 1994 onwards, took data from January 2003 to January 2011 and the final data analysis was published in 2018. The NEMO-2 and NEMO-3 detectors produced measurements for double neutrino decays and limits for neutrinoless double-beta decay for a number of elements, such as molybdenum-100 and selenium-82. These double beta decay times are important contributions to understanding the nucleus and are needed inputs for neutrinoless decay studies, which constrain neutrino mass. The NEMO collaboration remains active and is constructing an improved SuperNEMO detector. Planning of SuperNEMO and commissioning of SuperNEMO demonstrator module is on-going as of 2019.

Colloqui della Classe di Scienze: Seeking the true nature of neutrinos: was Ettore Majorana right?

Marco Pallavicini (Università di Genova) - 22 settembre 2021 After almost 100 years since its birth, the neutrino is still the less understood particle of the Standard Model, the established theory of particles and fields. Neutrinos are the most abundant massive particles of the universe (

Can leptogenesis explain why there's something instead of nothing?

"Why there is something, rather than nothing?" is a timeless question in both science and philosophy. In this video, Fermilab's Dr. Don Lincoln explains the theory of leptogenesis, which might be the answer.   The Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment is Fermilab's flagship program, which w

Majorana particles are real solutions of the Dirac equation, representing their own antiparticles. In the condensed matter context, Majorana refers to electronic modes in nanostructures described by peculiar ‘pulled-apart’ wavefunctions and by hypothesized non-Abelian exchange. This last
