Oscillation experiments show that neutrinos have masses. They however only determine the neutrinop mass differences. Information on the absolute masses can be obtained by studying the kinematics in weak decays, or by searching for…

We stress that massive neutrinos may be Majorana particles even if the effective mass of the neutrinoless double beta decay m_ee vanishes. We show that current neutrino oscillation data do allow m_ee = 0 to hold, if the Majorana…
The search for neutrinoless double beta decay ($0\nu\beta\beta$) is currently one of the key objectives in neutrino physics research. The decay rate of $0\nu\beta\beta$ decay depends on the effective Majorana neutrino mass $|\langle m…
Neutrino masses can be generated radiatively. In such scenarios their masses are calculated by evaluating a self-energy diagram with vanishing external momentum, i.e. taking only the leading order term in a momentum expansion. The…
