Searching for the neutrinoless double beta decay (0νββ) is of major interest to understand the fundamental characteristics of neutrinos. If observed, it would prove the Majorana nature of neutrinos, i.e. they are their own anti-particles, and allow the measurement of their effective mass.
SNO+ is a large volume liquid scintillator neutrino experiment that will search for this decay using...
SNO+ is a liquid scintillator-based experiment located 2km underground at SNOLAB in Canada. The primary motivation of the experiment is the observation of neutrinoless double beta decay; with other aims of detecting: geo and reactor antineutrinos, invisible nucleon decays and low energy solar neutrinos. The detector will operate in 3 main phases, using: ultra pure water, pure scinitllator and...
In this work, we study cosmological and astrophysical applications of the recently proposed generalized hybrid metric-Palatini gravity theory, which combines features of both the metric and the Palatini approaches to the variational method in f(R) gravity. This theory arises as a natural generalization of the hybrid metric-Palatini gravity which has been proven to be the first theory to unify...
