The UV research groups (GIUV) are regulated in the 1st chapter of the Regulation ACGUV48/2013, which explains the procedure for creating new research structures. They are basic research and organizational structures that result from the voluntary association of researchers that share objectives, facilities, resources and common lines of research. These researchers are also committed to the consolidation and stability of their activity, work in groups and the capability to achieve a sustainable funding.
The research groups included in the previously mentioned Regulation are registered in the Register of Research Structures of the Universitat de València (REIUV), managed by the Office of the Vice-principal for Research. The basic information of these organisms can be found in this website.

Reference of the Group:
Description of research activity: 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.
