Abstract: Particles’ properties are closely related to cosmology and astrophysics. Explanation of neutrino oscillations, nature of dark matter and dark energy, baryon-antibaryon asymmetry call for extension of the Standard Model of particles. Properties of neutrino play an important role in the development of elementary particles models. Measurements of neutrinos from various sources, search for neutrinoless double beta decay are able to answer the key questions on the neutrino nature (whether it is Majorana or Dirac particle?), the absolute mass scale and the neutrino mass hierarchy, the lepton number conservation, the CP-symmetry violation due to neutrino mixing, etc. Search for interaction of hypothetical dark matter particles could answer to the question about nature and composition of dark matter in the Universe. |
| Keywords: dark matter., double beta decay, neutrinos, standard model of elementary particles |
