Resumo
Neutrinos are so far the most elusive known particles, and in the last decades many
sophisticated experiments have been set up in order to clarify several questions about their intrinsic
nature, in particular their masses, mass hierarchy, intrinsic nature of Majorana or Dirac particles.
Evidence of the Neutrinoless Double-Beta Decay (NDBD) would prove that neutrinos are Majorana
particles, thus improving the understanding of the universe itself. Besides the search for several large
underground experiments for the direct experimental detection of NDBD, the NUMEN experiment
proposes the investigation of a nuclear mechanism strongly linked to this decay: the Double Charge
Exchange reactions (DCE). As such reactions share with the NDBD the same initial and final nuclear
states, they could shed light on the determination of the Nuclear Matrix Elements (NMEs), which play
a relevant role in the decay. The physics of DCE is described elsewhere in this issue, while the focus
of this paper will be on the challenging experimental apparatus currently under construction in order
to fulfil the requirements of the NUMEN experiment. The overall structure of the technological
improvement to the cyclotron, along with the newly developed detection systems required for
tracking and identifying the reaction products and their final excitation level are described.
