The theory of PTOLEMY

• Angelo Esposito (Istituto Nazionale di Fisica Nucleare)

Room: Aula B In presence of a solid state substrate, the spectrum of the β-processes of tritium is qualitatively different from that expected in vacuum. I will review the conceptual and technical aspects of the inclusion of condensed matter effects on such a spectrum. For the case of β-decay, an accurate account of these effects is of utmost importance to successfully constrain the value of the neutrino mass. For the case of neutrino absorption, instead, these effects can raise some conceptual difficulties. I will discuss them and streamline the general direction one needs to follow to try to overcome them.
