abstract

We report new results from the search for neutrinoless double-beta decay in $^{130}$Te with the CUORE detector. This search benefits from a four-fold increase in exposure, lower trigger thresholds and analysis improvements relative to our previous results. We observe a background of $(1.38\pm0.07)\cdot10^{-2}$ counts$/($keV$\cdot$kg$\cdot$yr$)$ in the $0\nu\beta\beta$ decay region of interest and, with a total exposure of 372.5 kg$\cdot$yr, we attain a median exclusion sensitivity of $1.7\cdot10^{25}$ yr. We find no evidence for $0\nu\beta\beta$ decay and set a $90\%$ CI Bayesian lower limit of $3.2\cdot10^{25}$ yr on the $^{130}$Te half-life for this process. In the hypothesis that $0\nu\beta\beta$ decay is mediated by light Majorana neutrinos, this results in an upper limit on the effective Majorana mass of 75-350 meV, depending on the nuclear matrix elements used.

  1. A Novel Neutrino Mass Matrix

    hep-ph 2025-08 reject novelty 6.0 of 10

    A neutrino mass matrix texture with correlations m12=m13 and m33=2i m12 is claimed to fix the hierarchy, octant, and CP phases, but the supporting model and RG analysis are incomplete.

  2. Neutrino mass generation in asymptotically safe gravity

    hep-ph 2025-05 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    In asymptotically safe gravity, the Weinberg operator is shown to be irrelevant, so Standard Model neutrinos cannot get masses without new fields; type-I seesaw scales are bounded from above.

  3. Beyond Half-Life Limits: Robust Operator-Level Interpretation of Multi-Isotope Neutrinoless Double-Beta Decay

    hep-ph 2026-07 conditional novelty 5.5 of 10

    Among tested operators, light-Majorana exchange gives the most stable multi-isotope coefficient limits and half-life ratios; selected dim-6 operators are intermediate; short-range dim-9 examples can be highly NME- and...

  4. Right-handed neutrinos: seesaw models and signatures

    hep-ph 2025-02 conditional novelty 1.0 of 10

    A pedagogical review that explains how adding right-handed neutrinos can generate small neutrino masses through seesaw mechanisms and what experimental signatures such models predict.
