The Isobaric Multiplet Mass Equation (IMME) is the most fundamental prediction in nuclear physics based on the concept of isospin. However, the IMME does not in itself provide any information on the nature of the charge-violating nuclear interactions. One related long-standing question is the microscopic origin of the Nolen-Schiffer anomaly found in the Coulomb displacement energy of mirror...

A powerful tool to determine the effective electron-neutrino mass is the calorimetric measurement of the energy released in a nuclear beta decay. Performing a precision measurement of the end point of the Electron Capture decay spectrum of 163Ho , HOLMES aims at pushing down the sensitivity on the neutrino mass below 1 eV. In its final configuration HOLMES will deploy an array of 1000...

Neutrino physics is entering the age of precision measurements. A
number of experiments have firmly established the occurrence of
neutrino oscillations and determined the corresponding squared mass
differences and mixing angles. These measurements have provided
unambiguous evidence that neutrinos do have non-vanishing masses.
The large θ 13 mixing angle will enable future experiments to...

In asymmetric nuclear matter, the mismatched Fermi surfaces of neutrons and protons prevent pairing between the two species near the average Fermi surface. We propose an axi-symmetric angle-dependent gap (ADG) state with broken rotational symmetry in reference [1] by considering the angle dependence of the pairing gap in 3SD1 channel, in which the pairing gap is angle-dependent due to the...

The preliminary study of a solution for the optical detection and tracking of ions in the
NUMEN FPD is presented. Detailed Geant4 simulation of the light generated by the ions
traversing a scintillation high pressure gas are correlated to the geometry and read-out
strategy of a full optical tracker. Arrays of SiPM, suitably arranged around the tracks,
perform imaging of the track allowing...

The SoLid experiment is investigating the existence of sterile neutrinos by looking for a deficit of antiνe from a nuclear reactor at Mol in Belgium. It searches inverse beta decays events (a positron and a neutron in delayed coincidence) with a finely segmented detector made of thousands of scintillating cubes with a dimension of 5 cm. SoLid has a very innovative hybrid technology with 2...

The NUMEN experiment at LNS demands an upgrading of the Superconducting Cyclotron
(CS) to deliver beam ion with mass <40 and with power up to 10 kW.
To transport the new high power beams it is mandatory to build a new extraction beam line for
the CS and to upgrade the existing beam transport lines to reduce the beam losses below 100 W
in the accelerator room and in the beam transport...

Direct dark matter searches are promising techniques to identify the nature of dark matter particles. A variety of experiments have been developed over the past decades, aiming at detecting Weakly Interactive Massive Particles (WIMPs) via their scattering in a detector medium. Exploiting directionality would give a proof of the galactic origin of dark matter making it possible to provide a...

Since the discovery of the neutrino oscillations, which imply non-zero neutrino mass, neutrino physics and the study of the neutrino-less double beta decay (0νββ) have received ever growing interest. Several experiments are currently trying to detect the 0νββ event and to measure the half-life, which is inversely proportional to the squared neutrino effective mass. The NUMEN project aims to...

Neutrinoless double beta decay ($0\nu\beta\beta$) represents one of the key cases to probe Physics beyond the Standard Model. From the half – life of nuclei which may undergo double beta decay it
would be possible to extract the neutrino effective mass, if the nuclear matrix elements involved in the process are known with sufficient accuracy. To access information on the latter...

It is located in the Laboratori Nazionali del Gran Sasso (LNGS) in the mountains of Italy at 3800 m water-equivalent depth.

The knowledge of Nuclear Matrix Elements (NME), that enter in the expression of the half-life of the

from these measurements. Relevant information on the NME can be obtained by measuring the cross
sections of double charge exchange nuclear reactions (DCE), since the initial and final state...

We give a review of our research work on the properties of asymmetric nuclear matter within the framework of the Brueckner theory. We pay special attention to the discussion of the three-body force (TBF) effect and the comparison of our results with the predictions by other ab initio approaches. It is shown that TBF is necessary for reproducing the empirical saturation property of symmetric...

The current work is a part of the NUMEN project [1] which aims to deduce the nuclear matrix elements (NME) by an innovative technique of measuring the cross section using heavy ions induced Double Charge Exchange (DCE) reactions. In particular DCE are processes characterized by the transfer of two units of the isospin component, leaving the mass number unchanged. Earlier such studies were not...
