Abstract

This project aims to establish a durable collaboration between IJCLab/Université Paris-Saclay and the Instituto de Física from the University of São Paulo (USP) in order to combine different aspects of flavor physics (leptonic and hadronic) to address important open problemsinvolving the origin of neutrino masses, lepton number and lepton flavor violation.
