The bolometric way to the discovery of neutrinoless double beta decay: CUPID and beyond, A. Giuliani (IJCLab) – November 14th 2025 @2pm

This seminar will begin with a concise overview of neutrinoless double beta decay, emphasizing its significance in neutrino physics and its far-reaching implications for particle physics. As the only viable experimental method to confirm the Majorana nature of neutrinos and to perform a comprehensive test of lepton number conservation, this rare process holds a position of central importance in the field. The presentation will describe the bolometric technique used to investigate this phenomenon, offering a detailed explanation of its principles and applications to double beta decay. Special attention will be devoted to the technologies developed for the CUPID experiment and to related advances in double beta decay bolometric research. The discussion will conclude with an in-depth examination of CUPID’s prospects, highlighting why it represents one of the most promising next-generation projects, with high discovery potential and realistic pathways for further development.

The seminar will be conducted in English.
