A brief summary of the status of neutrino masses, mixing and oscillations is presented. Neutrinoless double $\beta$-decay is considered. Predictions for the effective Majorana mass are reviewed. A possible test of the calculations of…
The neutrinoless double $\beta$-decay is reviewed. Model independent evidence in favor of neutrino masses and mixing is briefly summarized. The data of the recent experiments on the search for $0\nu\beta\beta$-decay are presented and some…
Recently the evidence of the neutrinoless double $\beta$ ($0\nu \beta\beta$) decay has been announced. This means that neutrinos are Majorana particles and their mass hierarchy is forced to inverted mass hierarchy (Type B) or degenerate…
We study in detail the contribution of heavy composite Majorana neutrinos to neutrino-less double beta decay. Our analysis confirms the result of a previous estimate by two of the authors. Excited neutrinos couple to the electroweak gauge…
Neutrinoless double beta decay is a sensitive probe of the patterns of neutrino masses and mixings if the neutrinos are Majorana particles as well as other new physics scenarios beyond the standard model. In this talk, the present…
The status of the search for neutrinoless double beta decay is reviewed. The effort to reach the sensitivity needed to cover the effective Majorana neutrino mass corresponding to the degenerate and inverted mass hierarchy is described.…
We investigate neutrinoless double-beta decay ($0\nu\beta\beta$) in the minimal extension of the standard model of particle physics, the $\nu$SM, where gauge-singlet right-handed neutrinos give rise to Dirac and Majorana neutrino mass…
Recently the evidence of the neutrinoless double $\beta$ ($0\nu \beta\beta$) decay has been announced. This means that neutrinos are Majorana particles and their mass hierarchy is forced to certain patterns in the diagonal basis of charged…
We investigate neutrinoless double-beta decay ($0\nu\beta\beta$) in minimal extensions of the Standard Model of particle physics where gauge-singlet right-handed neutrinos give rise to Dirac and Majorana neutrino mass terms. We argue that…
Study of the neutrinoless $\beta\beta$ decay allows us to put a stringent limit on the effective neutrino Majorana mass, a quantity of fundamental importance. To test our ability to evaluate the nuclear matrix elements that govern the decay…
Light sterile neutrinos with masses at the sub-eV or eV scale are hinted by current experimental and cosmological data. Assuming the Majorana nature of these hypothetical particles, we discuss their effects in the neutrinoless double beta…
We study possible contributions of heavy sterile neutrinos $\nu_h$ to the decays $\tau^-\to e^{\pm}(\mu^{\pm})\pi^{\mp}\pi^-$. From the experimental upper bounds on their rates we derive new constraints on the $\nu_h-\nu_{\tau}$ mixing in…
We investigate the predictions for neutrinoless double beta ($(\beta \beta)_{0 \nu}$-) decay effective Majorana mass $\left| \langle \, m \, \rangle \right|$ in the 3+1 and 3+2 schemes with one and two additional sterile neutrinos with…
The neutrinoless double beta ($0\nu\beta\beta$) decay process could provide crucial information to determine the absolute scale of the neutrino masses, and it is the only one that can establish whether neutrino is a Dirac or a Majorana…
We present the possible influence on the half-life of neutrinoless double beta decay coming from the existence of $n$ extra spatial dimensions. The half-life in question depends on the mass of the electron neutrino. We base our analysis on…
Neutrinoless double-beta decay ($0\nu\beta\beta$) is a rare hypothesised process that, if discovered, would establish that the neutrino is Majorana, that is, it is its own antiparticle. Interpretation of experimental results relies on…
The hypothesis that the Majorana mass of ordinary neutrinos dominates the rate of neutrinoless double beta decay is investigated. Predictions from neutrino oscillations are updated. Nuclear uncertainties are discussed, evaluating the impact…
Neutrinoless double beta decay is one of the most powerful tools to set the neutrino mass absolute scale and establish whether the neutrino is a Majorana particle. After a summary of the neutrinoless double beta decay phenomenology, the…
When three Majorana neutrinos describe the solar and atmospheric neutrino data via oscillations, a nonzero measurement of neutrinoless double beta ($0\nu\beta\beta$) decay can determine the sum of neutrino masses $\sum m_\nu$ if the solar…
We investigate how recent updates to neutrino oscillation parameters and the sum of neutrino masses influence the sensitivity of neutrinoless double-beta (0$\nu\beta\beta$) decay experiments. Incorporating the latest cosmological…
