Measuring leptonic CP Violation in Neutrinoless Double Beta Decay
نویسنده
چکیده
We investigate under which circumstances one can show the existence of leptonic CP violation with the help of a positive or negative signal in neutrinoless double beta decay. The possibilities of cancellations are investigated for special mass hierarchies and the different solar solutions. The possibility that the mixing angle connected with the solar neutrino problem is smaller or larger than π/4 is taken into account. The non–maximality of that angle in case of the LMA solution allows to make several useful statements. The four different CP conserving possibilities are analyzed. It is implemented how precisely the oscillation parameters will be known after current and future experiments have taken data. The area in parameter space, in which CP violation has to take place, is largest for the LOW solution and in general larger for the inverse mass scheme.

Looking for Leptonic Cp Violation with Neutrinos
I discuss some theoretical aspects of how to observe leptonic CP violation. It is divided into two parts, one for CP violation due to Majorana, and the other more conventional leptonic Kobayashi-Maskawa (KM) phases. In the first part, I estimate the effect of Majorana phase to observable of neutrinoless double beta decay experiments by paying a careful attention to the definition of the atmosph...
متن کاملNeutrinoless double beta decay and CP violation.
We study the relation between the Majorana neutrino mass matrices and the neutrinoless double beta decay when CP is not conserved. We give an explicit form of the decay rate in terms of a rephasing invariant quantity and demonstrate that in the presence of CP violation it is impossible to have vanishing neutrinoless double beta decay in the case of two neutrino generations (or when the third ge...
متن کاملNeutrino Mass Spectra, CP-Violation and Neutrinoless Double-Beta Decaya
Assuming 3-ν mixing and massive Majorana neutrinos, we present some implications of the oscillation solutions of the solar and atmospheric neutrino problems and of the results of the CHOOZ experiment for the predictions of the effective Majorana mass in neutrinoless double beta-decay. If the present or upcoming (ββ)0ν -decay searches give a positive result, the Majorana nature of massive neutri...
متن کاملSearching for the CP - Violation Associated with Majorana Neutrinos
The effective Majorana mass which determines the rate of the neutrinoless double beta ((ββ) 0ν-)decay, |< m >| , is considered in the case of three-neutrino mixing and massive Majo-rana neutrinos. Assuming a rather precise determination of the parameters characterizing the neutrino oscillation solutions of the solar and atmospheric neutrino problems has been made, we discuss the information a m...
متن کاملNo-go for detecting CP violation via neutrinoless double beta decay
We present a necessary condition on the solar oscillation amplitude for CP violation to be detectable through neutrinoless double beta (0νββ) decay. It depends only on the fractional uncertainty in the νe–νe element of the neutrino mass matrix. We demonstrate that even under very optimistic assumptions about the sensitivity of future experiments to the absolute neutrino mass scale, and on the p...
