Prof. Mihai Horoi (Central Michigan University)5/27/19, 11:00 AMOral PresentationNeutrinos are elusive particles interacting weekly with the atomic nuclei and electron plasma. Most of the atomic nuclei that are stable from the strong interaction point of view can decay emitting neutrinos or antineutrinos. The properties of weak interaction are essential for the understanding of the fundamental symmetries that constrain the Standard Model of particle physics. Neutrinoless...Go to contribution page

Prof. Jie Meng (School of Physics, Peking University, Beijing 100871, China)5/27/19, 11:30 AMOral PresentationThe discovery of neutrinoless double-$β$ ($0νββ$) decay would demonstrate the nature of neutrinos, have profound implications for our understanding of matter-antimatter mystery, and solve the mass hierarchy problem of neutrinos. The calculations for the nuclear matrix elements $M^{0ν}$ of $0νββ$ decay are crucial for the interpretation of this process. We study the effects of relativity and...Go to contribution page

Dr Vincenzo Cirigliano (Los Alamos National Laboratory)5/27/19, 12:00 PMOral PresentationIn this talk I will discuss a theoretical approach to neutrinoless double beta decay based on effective field theory (EFT). I will describe an end-to-end analysis that starts from the high scale where lepton number violation originates and evolves the dynamics all the way down to nuclear scales, using at each stage the appropriate effective theory (from the Standard Model EFT to chiral EFT)....Go to contribution page
