Title: Neutrino Masses, Mixing, Oscillations, Dirac and Majorana Leptonic CP Violation, bb0nu-Decay and Leptogenesis

Date: Wednesday, May 6th, 2009
Time: 12:00
Venue: Villa Bazzoni

Abstract:
The current data on neutrino mixing and oscillatons will be reviewed. The prospects for future progress in understanding the origin of neutrino masses will be outlined. The problem of determining the nature - Dirac or Majorana, of massive neutrinos and of the status of CP-symmetry in the lepton sector will be briefly considered. The possibility that the CP-violation necessary for the generation of the baryon asymmetry of the Universe is due exclusively to the Dirac and/or Majorana CP-violating phase(s) in the neutrino mixing matrix and thus is related to CP violation in the lepton sector at low energies that can be observed, e.g. in neutrino oscillations, will be reviewed.
