Oleg Popov (Seoultech)29/06/2018, 16:30OralThe Standard Model of particle physics have been extremely successful so far, but there are still many unanswered questions like the origin of neutrino mass, nature of dark matter, the source of quark and lepton flavor mixing and their possible correlation, the theory of grand unification of all SM interactions. In this talk I will focus on some interesting models that attempt to answer these...Go to contribution page

Prof. Ruben Saakyan (UCL)29/06/2018, 17:00OralNeutrinoless double beta decay (0$\nu\beta\beta$) is the only practical way to understand the neutrino nature (i.e. whether it is a Dirac or a Majorana particle) and to observe full lepton number violation required by most beyond the standard model scenarios. The goal of the SuperNEMO experiment is to search for 0$\nu\beta\beta$ decay. Its technology is based on a successful design...Go to contribution page

Brian Zhu (Los Alamos National Laboratory)29/06/2018, 17:30OralThe Majorana Demonstrator is an ultra-low background experiment searching for neutrinoless double-beta decay in $^{76}$Ge at the Sanford Underground Research Facility. The high radiopurity of the detectors and components, combined with the excellent energy resolution of the HPGe detector array, allows the Demonstrator to double as both a neutrinoless double beta decay experiment at higher...Go to contribution page

Dr Rastislav Dvornicky (JINR, Dubna / Comenius University, Bratislava)29/06/2018, 18:00OralWe present an improved formalism of the two-neutrino double-beta decay rate. The dependence of energy denominators on lepton energies via the Taylor expansion is considered. The $2\nu\beta\beta$-decay rate depend on phase-space factors weighted by the ratios of $2\nu\beta\beta$-decay nuclear matrix elements with different powers of the energy denominator. For nuclei of experimental interest...Go to contribution page
