Observing neutrinoless double beta decay would establish lepton number violation and the Majorana nature of neutrinos. Within the standard 3-flavour paradigm, the rate of this process is controlled by the effective Majorana mass $|\langle m…
Neutrino mixing parameters are subject to quantum corrections and hence are scale dependent. This means that the mixing parameters associated to the production and detection of neutrinos need not coincide since these processes are…
