Sterile neutrinos and neutrinoless double beta decay
Jordy de Vries (Amsterdam U., Nikhef)

The fact that neutrinos are massive particles can be neatly explained by the existence of (at least two) additional neutrinos, called sterile neutrinos. Depending on their mass, sterile neutrinos can be looked for in various experiments. I will discuss how sterile neutrinos can be probed indirectly in neutrinoless double beta decay experiments and how this search compares to more direct probes and how it can test low-scale leptogenesis as a solution for the baryon number asymmetry of the universe.
