Absolute neutrino mass

Neutrino oscillations show that neutrinos have mass differences, but they do not tell us the absolute masses. How light are these elusive particles?

Majorana nature of neutrinos

A neutrino might be its own antiparticle. Establishing whether that is true would change how we understand neutrino mass and a basic particle-number symmetry.

Leptonic CP violation

Do neutrinos and antineutrinos change flavour differently in a way that violates charge–parity symmetry?

Gallium anomaly

Gallium detectors exposed to intense laboratory neutrino sources make fewer germanium atoms than standard capture calculations predict. Is the missing yield a nuclear-calculation problem, a measurement effect or new neutrino physics?
