B1.00003: Double-beta decay and the neutrino Invited Speaker: We now know that neutrinos have mass. The oscillation experiments have shown that at least one neutrino has a mass greater than about 45 meV. However, these experiments do not measure the absolute mass scale of the neutrino. Beta decay experiments, large-scale structure measurements, and double-beta decay experiments are the most promising techniques to determine this scale. In addition, double-beta decay experiments provide the only feasible technique to determine whether the neutrino is its own anti-particle. The current situation is enticing as the oscillation results give hope that upcoming double-beta decay experiments will see a signal. This, and because the neutrino plays an important role in nuclear physics, particle physics, astrophysics, and cosmology, the science of double-beta decay has stimulated great interest recently. This presentation will summarize the science and the experimental prospects. [Preview Abstract] |
