Seminar: The bolometric way to the discovery of neutrinoless double beta decay: CUPID and beyond, by Andrea Giuliani (IJCLab)

vendredi 14 nov. 2025, 14:00 → 16:00 Europe/Paris

Auditorium Marcel Vivargent (LAPP)

Francesco Costanza (LAPP), Luis Manzanillas (Manzanillas)

This seminar will begin with a concise overview of neutrinoless double
beta decay, emphasizing its significance in neutrino physics and its
far-reaching implications for particle physics. As the only viable
experimental method to confirm the Majorana nature of neutrinos and to
perform a comprehensive test of lepton number conservation, this rare
process holds a position of central importance in the field. The
presentation will describe the bolometric technique used to investigate
this phenomenon, offering a detailed explanation of its principles and
applications to double beta decay. Special attention will be devoted to
the technologies developed for the CUPID experiment and to related
advances in double beta decay bolometric research. The discussion will
conclude with an in-depth examination of CUPID’s prospects, highlighting
why it represents one of the most promising next-generation projects,
with high discovery potential and realistic pathways for further
development.
