Collection description
Understanding the nature of the neutrino is one of the major open quests in the physics beyond the Standard Model. Among the various approaches to this topic, the Neutrinoless Double Beta Decay (NDBD) certainly represents a unique tool for the investigation of the neutrino properties. The NUMEN project proposes a new way to access the Nuclear Matrix Element (NME) of the NDBD through the measurement of the Double Charge Exchange (DCE) cross section. The extremely low cross section, and the high intensity background foreseen, demand strict requirements for the detection apparatus which is currently under study and development. This work illustrates the main challenges of the NUMEN detection apparatus and its foreseen upgrades. In particular, this thesis presents the project and the design for the G-NUMEN array and the feasibility study of its prototype.
