Only two n states: CPT n L, h= -1/2 > n R, h= +1/2 > Massive Majorana n Violation of the Leptonic Number Leptogenesis in the Early Universe through the Majorana neutrino See-saw mechanism to explain the small mass of the neutrino Observation of bb0n decay is the most sensitive way to probe Majorana
