NEutrino Properties Through Use of Nuclei - Workshop

This workshop presents the outcomes and advances achieved within the NEPTUN (Neutrino Properties Through Use of Nuclei) project, dedicated to the theoretical and computational investigation of fundamental neutrino properties. Through the development of novel theoretical methods and state-of-the-art computational tools, the project addresses some of the most pressing open questions in neutrino physics, including the effective axial-vector coupling strength g_A, the possible existence of sterile neutrinos, the reliable calculation of nuclear matrix elements for neutrinoless double-beta decay, and the determination of neutrino masses from beta and neutrinoless double-beta decay processes. The workshop brings together the collaborative expertise of the Jyväskylä, Bucharest, and Michigan theory groups, alongside key experimental partners, fostering an internationally competitive environment for frontier research. Results, ongoing challenges, and future directions in nuclear, particle, and neutrino physics are discussed, with a view toward establishing a sustainable long-term international research collaboration.
