The hypothesis of an additional light sterile neutrino state introduces four distinct mass spectra depending on the sign of the mass-squared differences. Here, we discuss the implications of these mass spectra on the absolute mass-observables namely—the sum of the light neutrino masses \((\Sigma )\) from cosmology, the effective mass of the electron neutrino from beta decay \((m_{\beta })\) , and the effective Majorana mass \(( m_{\beta \beta })\) from neutrinoless double beta ( \(0\nu \beta \beta \) ) decay.

摘要

The hypothesis of an additional light sterile neutrino state introduces four distinct mass spectra depending on the sign of the mass-squared differences. Here, we discuss the implications of these mass spectra on the absolute mass-observables namely—the sum of the light neutrino masses \((\Sigma )\) from cosmology, the effective mass of the electron neutrino from beta decay \((m_{\beta })\) , and the effective Majorana mass \(( m_{\beta \beta })\) from neutrinoless double beta ( \(0\nu \beta \beta \) ) decay.
