Description

One of the central questions in particle physics is the nature of neutrinos: Are they Majorana or Dirac fermions? I will quickly review the leading experimental campaign to address this question - the search for neutrinoless double-beta decay - and will then discuss other logical possibilities that do not directly involve looking for the violation of lepton number.
