Massive neutrinos and cosmology

J Lesgourgues, S Pastor - Physics Reports, 2006 - Elsevier
The present experimental results on neutrino flavour oscillations provide evidence for non-
zero neutrino masses, but give no hint on their absolute mass scale, which is the target of …

Neutrino-less double beta decay and particle physics

W Rodejohann - International Journal of Modern Physics E, 2011 - World Scientific
We review the particle physics aspects of neutrino-less double beta decay. This process can
be mediated by light massive Majorana neutrinos (standard interpretation) or by something …

Neutrino mass and new physics

RN Mohapatra, AY Smirnov - Annu. Rev. Nucl. Part. Sci., 2006 - annualreviews.org
▪ Abstract We review the present state and future outlook of our understanding of neutrino
masses and mixings. We discuss what we think are the most important perspectives on the …

How to find neutral leptons of the νMSM?

D Gorbunov, M Shaposhnikov - Journal of High Energy Physics, 2007 - iopscience.iop.org
An extension of the Standard Model by three singlet fermions with masses smaller than the
electroweak scale allows to explain simultaneously neutrino oscillations, dark matter and …

Updated values of running quark and lepton masses

Z Xing, H Zhang, S Zhou - Physical Review D—Particles, Fields, Gravitation …, 2008 - APS
Reliable values of quark and lepton masses are important for model building at a
fundamental energy scale, such as the Fermi scale MZ≈ 91.2 GeV and the would-be GUT …

Explosion mechanism, neutrino burst and gravitational wave in core-collapse supernovae

K Kotake, K Sato, K Takahashi - Reports on Progress in Physics, 2006 - iopscience.iop.org
Core-collapse supernovae are among the most energetic explosions in the universe
marking the catastrophic end of massive stars. In spite of rigorous studies for several …

The next-generation liquid-scintillator neutrino observatory LENA

M Wurm, JF Beacom, LB Bezrukov, D Bick, J Blümer… - Astroparticle …, 2012 - Elsevier
As part of the European LAGUNA design study on a next-generation neutrino detector, we
propose the liquid-scintillator detector LENA (Low Energy Neutrino Astronomy) as a …

A possible symmetry of the νMSM

M Shaposhnikov - Nuclear Physics B, 2007 - Elsevier
To explain the dark matter and the baryon asymmetry of the Universe, the parameters of the
νMSM (an extension of the Minimal Standard Model by three singlet neutrinos with masses …

Global analysis of three-flavor neutrino masses and mixings

GL Fogli, E Lisi, A Marrone, A Palazzo - Progress in Particle and Nuclear …, 2006 - Elsevier
We present a comprehensive phenomenological analysis of a vast amount of data from
neutrino flavor oscillation and non-oscillation searches, performed within the standard …

Neutrinoless double beta decay and heavy sterile neutrinos

M Mitra, G Senjanović, F Vissani - Nuclear Physics B, 2012 - Elsevier
The experimental rate of neutrinoless double beta decay can be saturated by the exchange
of virtual sterile neutrinos, that mix with the ordinary neutrinos and are heavier than 200 …
