Baryon number is not necessarily an exact symmetry in Nature, and its violation is deeply connected to topics such as the grand unification theories, the supersymmetry, and the baryon asymetry in our universe.So far, baryon number violation has yet to be detected. This talk discusses recent experimental approaches and future prospects towards baryon number violation processes including nucleon...
The Standard Model, as it currently stands, is not able to explain some of the most important questions about our universe such as what was the mechanism that led to the observed antimatter-matter asymmetry. Answers to these fundamental questions may come from neutrinos, which are one of the least understood particles. One of the most interesting possibilities is that neutrinos could be...
The search for neutrinoless double beta decay is currently the most sensitive tool to study the possible identity of neutrinos and anti-neutrinos and with-it new physics beyond the Standard Model of particle physics. A world-wide effort is under way to mount a new generation of experiments, utilizing ton-amounts of decaying substance, deployed in detectors with unprecedented background. The...
