LEGEND Talk at WIN 2025 and Award at the International School of Subnuclear Physics
Sofia Calgaro, a postdoctoral researcher from our group, had the opportunity to present the first and most recent LEGEND-200 results at the WIN 2025 conference in Brighton, UK (talk).
She presented both the Frequentist and Bayesian analyses of the 0νββ results based on the first year of collected data, which led to the most sensitive half-life limit for 0νββ decay to date. She also showed the first constraint on the effective Majorana neutrino mass (mββ), obtained using uncertainty-quantified nuclear matrix elements evaluated via ab initio methods for ⁷⁶Ge (paper).
The work was discussed in greater detail during the International School of Subnuclear Physics 2025 in Erice, Italy (talk). Participation in the school proved to be an invaluable opportunity to exchange ideas, deepen knowledge, and build new connections with a broaden community of researchers. As recognition for the results achieved and presented, Sofia was awarded the Giulio Racah diploma.
