Perspectives on Finding the Neutrino Nature

Abstract

The possibility of determining the neutrino nature is considered in view of the most recent experimental observations. The analysis combines schemes with three and four neutrinos.The data on oscillations is put together with that from the search of neutrinoless double beta decay and results on tritium beta decay. All solar neutrino oscillation solutions are taken into account. The sensitivity of the problem on future experimental bounds from GENIUS is studied. Dirac neutrinos are shown to be unavoidable already at present in some schemes and the constraints will quickly become more stringent with future data. The consequences of including bounds from Cosmology on the neutrino content of Hot Dark Matter are commented.
