This line of research studies the intrinsic properties of neutrinos. It investigates the phenomenon of oscillations between neutrino families by measuring the parameters that define these oscillations and tries to elucidate the nature of the neutrino, i.e. whether it is a Dirac fermion or a Majorana fermion. IFIC is leading the NEXT experiment to search for double beta decays without neutrino production, the detection of which would imply that the neutrino is a Majorana particle. It is also involved in several neutrino oscillation experiments with accelerators: the T2K experiment, which is being carried out in Japan, and the next-generation DUNE experiment in the United States. In addition, the IFIC neutrino group develops advanced nuclear instrumentation, which could have important industrial applications, in particular in medical physics and nuclear proliferation control.
