Two Isotopes for Neutrinoless double beta decaY search
The TINY experiment will focus on the investigation of neutrinoless double beta decay (0n2b) with 96Zr and 150Nd isotopes. The search for 0n2b is a hot topic in particle physics, as the discovery of this rare nuclear process would establish the Majorana nature of neutrino, fix the neutrino mass scale, and prove lepton number non-conservation, setting the grounds for new physics beyond the Standard Model. The current and near-future large-scale searches for 0n2b do not include the nuclei chosen for the TINY project, due to the unavailability of an appropriate scalable detector technology for these candidates. Both 96Zr and 150Nd have the crucial advantage of very high transition energy for…
