Neutrinos and nuclei

Abstract:  Neutrinos are elusive particles interacting weekly with the atomic nuclei and electron plasma. Most of the atomic nuclei that are stable from the strong interaction point of view can decay emitting neutrinos or antineutrinos. The properties of weak interaction are essential for the understanding of the fundamental symmetries that constrain the Standard Model of particle physics, and which represent one of the main pillars of the FRIB science. In my talk I will analyze the neutrino physics relevant for the double beta decay of the atomic nuclei, one of the main projects under investigation by the low-energy nuclear physics community.
