Abstract Neutrinos are the only particles in Standard Model that could be Majorana fermions, is, completely neutral fermions their own antiparticles. The most sensitive known experimental method to verify whether neutrinos is search for neutrinoless double-beta decay. last 2 decades have witnessed development of a vigorous program decay experiments, spanning several isotopes and developing different strategies handle backgrounds masking possible signal. In addition, remarkable progress has...
The conclusions of the Physics Working Group international scoping study a future Neutrino Factory and super-beam facility (the ISS) are presented. ISS was carried by community between NuFact05, 7th International Workshop on Factories Superbeams, Laboratori Nazionali di Frascati, Rome, June 21-26, 2005) NuFact06 (Ivine, California, 24{30 August 2006). physics case for an extensive experimental programme to understand properties neutrino is presented role high-precision measurements...
Very intense neutrino beams and large detectors will be needed in order to enable the discovery of CP violation leptonic sector. We propose use proton linac European Spallation Source currently under construction Lund, Sweden deliver, parallel with spallation neutron production, a very intense, cost effective high performance beam.

This document reports on a series of experimental and theoretical studies conducted to assess the astro-particle physics potential three future large-scale particle detectors proposed in Europe as next generation underground observatories. The apparatus employ different and, some extent, complementary detection techniques: GLACIER (liquid Argon TPC), LENA scintillator) MEMPHYS (\WC), based use large mass liquids active media. results these are presented along with critical discussion...

MEMPHYS (MEgaton Mass PHYSics) is a proposed large-scale water Cherenkov experiment to be performed deep underground. It dedicated nucleon decay searches, neutrinos from supernovae, solar and atmospheric neutrinos, as well future Super-Beam or Beta-Beam measure the CP violating phase in leptonic sector mass hierarchy. A full simulation of detector has been evaluate its performance for beam physics. The results are given terms ``migration matrices'' reconstructed versus true neutrino energy,...
A generation of neutrino experiments have established that neutrinos mix and probably mass. The mixing phenomenon points to processes beyond those the Standard Model, possibly at Grand Unification energy scale. extensive sequence will be required measure precisely all parameters matrix, culminating with discovery study leptonic CP violation. As a first step, extensions conventional pion/kaon decay beams, such as off-axis beams or low-energy super-beams, been considered. These could yield...
Beta beams are designed to produce pure (anti)electron neutrino and could be an elegant powerful option for the search of leptonic CP violating processes. In this paper will quantified physics reach a CERN based beta beam super beam–beta combination. The phase δ sensitivity results comparable factory sin2θ13 values greater than 10−4.
The leptonic mixing angle theta_13 is currently a high-priority topic in the field of neutrino physics, with five experiments under way, searching for oscillations induced by this angle. We review phenomenology and discuss information from present global oscillation data. A description upcoming reactor accelerator non-zero value given, we evaluate sensitivity reach within next few years.
The European Particle Physics Strategy Update (EPPSU) process takes a bottom-up approach, whereby the community is first invited to submit proposals (also called inputs) for projects that it would like see realised in near-term, mid-term and longer-term future. National inputs as well from Laboratories are also an important element of process. All these then reviewed by Preparatory Group (PPG), whose role organize Symposium around submitted ideas prepare discussion on importance merits...

In the last two decades search for neutrinoless double beta decay has evolved into one of highest priorities understanding neutrinos and origin mass. The main reason this paradigm shift been discovery neutrino oscillations, which clearly established existence massive neutrinos. An additional motivation conducting such searches comes from an unconfirmed, but not refuted, claim evidence in $^{76}\text{Ge}$. As a consequence, new generation experiments, employing different detection techniques...

A simplified method to compute $R_t$, the Effective Reproduction Number, is presented. The relates value of $R_t$ estimation doubling time performed with a local exponential fit. condition $R_t = 1$ corresponds growth rate equal zero or equivalently an infinite time. Different assumptions on probability distribution generation are considered. simple analytical solution presented in case follows gamma distribution.
Abstract The ENUBET project is aimed at designing and experimentally demonstrating the concept of monitored neutrino beams. These novel beams are enhanced by an instrumented decay tunnel, whose detectors reconstruct large-angle charged leptons produced in tunnel give a direct estimate flux source. facilities thus ideal tool for high-precision cross-section measurements GeV scale because they offer superior control beam systematics with respect to existing facilities. In this paper, we...
