Workshop on Calculation of Double-Beta-Decay Matrix Elements (MEDEX´09)

AbstraktAbstract

The double beta decay experiments are gradually approaching ~100kg scale of enriched isotopes. Experiments of such scale make enormous demands on the progress and reliability of the nuclear matrix elements calculations. The MEDEX training activity is called for since nuclear matrix elements play a crucial role in interpretation of the results of the underground experiments on bb decay and DM. In the organization of this meeting, the following conditions have been agreed upon, namely: a limited number of topics; to encourage young researchers to attend training sessions of MEDEX'09; to facilitate discussions on the physics of the theoretical models and experiments; to draw conclusions of the reliability of the nuclear matrix elements and to single out the most promising theoretical and experimental aspects to be investigated. Working sessions: Nuclear Matrix Elements for bb Decay; Nuclear Aspects of Neutrino Physics and DM Studies.
