We review the particle physics aspects of neutrino-less double beta decay. This process can
be mediated by light massive Majorana neutrinos (standard interpretation) or by something …

▪ Abstract This article reviews the astrophysics and cosmological evidence for nonbaryonic
dark matter (DM). It covers historical, current, and future experiments that look for direct …

The XENON1T collaboration has observed an excess in electronic recoil events below 5
keV over the known background, which could originate from beyond-the-standard-model …

We report the final result of the CUORICINO experiment. Operated between 2003 and 2008,
with a total exposure of 19.75 kg· y of 130Te, CUORICINO was able to set a lower bound on …

In the last two decades the search for neutrinoless double beta decay has evolved into one
of the highest priorities for understanding neutrinos and the origin of mass. The main reason …

CUORE is a proposed tightly packed array of 1000 TeO2 bolometers, each being a cube 5
cm on a side with a mass of 760 g. The array consists of 25 vertical towers, arranged in a …

This paper introduces the neutrinoless double‐beta decay (the rarest nuclear weak process)
and describes the status of the research for this transition, both from the point of view of …

The current status of the physics of massive neutrinos is reviewed with a forward-looking
emphasis. The article begins with the general phenomenology of neutrino oscillations in …

The search for neutrinoless double β decay probes lepton number conservation with high
sensitivity and investigates the neutrino nature and mass scale. Experiments presently in …

Superconducting detectors have become an important tool in experimental astroparticle
physics, which seeks to provide a fundamental understanding of the Universe. In particular …
