Probability Densities of the effective neutrino masses $m_{β}$ and $m_{ββ}$
Preprint
Abstract
We compute the probability densities of the effective neutrino masses $m_{\beta }$ and $m_{\beta \beta}$ using the Kernel Density Estimate (KDE) approach applied to a distribution of points in the $(m_{\min}, m_{\beta\beta })$ and $(m_{\beta }, m_{\beta\beta })$ planes, obtained using the available Probability Distribution Functions (PDFs) of the neutrino mixing and mass differences, with the additional constraints coming from cosmological data on the sum of the neutrino masses. We show that the reconstructed probability densities strongly depend on the assumed set of cosmological data: for $\sum_j m_j \leq 0.68\ @\ 95\% \ \mathrm{CL}$ a sensitive portion of the allowed values are already excluded by null results of experiments searching for $m_{\beta \beta}$ and $m_{\beta }$, whereas in the case $\sum_j m_j \leq 0.23\ @\ 95\% \ \mathrm{CL}$ the bulk of the probability densities are below the current bounds.
