Description

The nature of neutrinos — Majorana fermions or Dirac fermions — is among the most pressing issues in neutrino physics today. I explore observables capable, in principle, of revealing the nature of neutrinos beyond the well-known searches for neutrinoless double-beta decay. While none are really competitive unless we get very lucky, they help us understand the more “practical" differences between Majorana and Dirac fermions.
