TITLE: The role of nuclear reactions in the problem of neutrino-less double beta decay and the NUMEN project at INFN-LNS

ABSTRACT: In the seminar the physics case of neutrino-less double beta decay and its tremendous implications on particle physics, cosmology and fundamental physics will be introduced. In particular the crucial aspect of the nuclear matrix elements entering in the expression of the half-life of this process will be deepened.
The novel idea of using heavy-ion induced reactions as tools for the determination of these matrix elements will be then presented. The strengths and the limits of the proposed methodology will be indicated as possible items to stimulate the discussion.
Finally the NUMEN project of INFN and the proposed strategy to this research will be sketched in the view of a possible collaboration with Brasilian researchers and Institutions.
