Canonical title

At least one light active neutrino has a Majorana mass component.

Exact hypothesis · technical wording

At least one of the three light neutrino mass eigenstates participating in ordinary weak interactions has a nonzero Majorana mass component, violating total lepton number by two units. This does not require all three states to be pure Majorana particles or require light-neutrino exchange to dominate a nuclear decay.

Each round reads the evidence that was public at a stated cutoff. Later evidence goes into a later round; the market itself has no expiry date.

Resolution criteria

YES: A neutrinoless double-beta-decay signal with global background-only rejection >= 5 sigma in each of two independently acquired experiments, with lepton-number-violating interpretation established and backgrounds controlled, or an equally direct replicated measurement establishing the specified Majorana component. NO: A verified theory plus independent measurements establishes an exact protecting lepton-number symmetry that forbids every specified Majorana mass term. Finite half-life limits cannot prove a component is exactly zero; mass-ordering constraints and an absent decay signal leave this market UNDECIDED. Reference sources: PDG: Double beta decay (https://pdg.lbl.gov/2025/listings/rpp2025-list-double-beta-decay.pdf); PDG: Conservation laws (https://pdg.lbl.gov/2025/reviews/rpp2025-rev-conservation-laws.pdf). Evidence policy: use public primary research with methods and uncertainty, plus the named reference sources below. A preprint can inform the estimate but cannot alone meet a terminal criterion; require a peer-reviewed primary result and an independent reproduction using non-overlapping observations or independently prepared samples, unless this is a mathematical proof or the specific criterion instead requires independently implemented calculations. Report data provenance, exclusions, calibration, statistical model and systematic uncertainty. Independence means different data acquisition, not two papers reanalysing the same sample. For a quantitative terminal test, both independent results must meet the stated threshold; disagreement or an interval crossing the boundary means UNDECIDED. Use the final corrected version public at the signed round's evidence cutoff (UTC); exclude later evidence until a later eligible round. Every report in a terminal round must use the same cutoff, covered by the verified signed context and enforced by the configured terminal protocol; a different cutoff requires a new eligible round, never reinterpretation of a signed report or mutation of an immutable binding. This market has no calendar expiry. Retracted findings cannot supply a terminal result. If a named source disappears, use its DOI/publisher or an archived identical version, then an equivalent primary publication applying these unchanged definitions; if none is accessible, remain UNDECIDED, never substitute a different test. Missing data, failed replication, a null search outside the specified domain, or an untested alternative is not automatically NO. These are instructions for evidence assessment, not an automatic truth oracle: scientific interpretation and systematic-error judgment remain. Settlement follows the configured platform mode: terminal mode requires one valid round with all three frozen models returning the same explicit YES or NO and criterion_met=true; any UNDECIDED, failure or disagreement leaves it unresolved. Legacy proposal/challenge mode requires its recorded review process. Model agreement does not prove scientific truth. Invalidity is not NO and this text does not authorize a refund or cancellation: only a cancellation rule disclosed before exposure, if the configured contract supports it, can apply. Otherwise pause new entries and preserve holders' existing rights. Never reinterpret terms after listing.
