Valence neutron properties relevant to the neutrinoless double- decay of Te
Abstract
The valence neutron composition of the Te-130 and Xe-130 ground states has been studied with a view to constraining calculations of the nuclear matrix element for the neutrinoless double-beta decay of Te-130. Single-neutron adding and removing reactions on Te-128,Te-130 and Xe-130,Xe-132 have been used to probe the vacancy of the 0g7/2, 1d(5/2), 1d(3/2), 2s(1/2), and 0h(11/2) orbitals. The change in the vacancy of these orbitals, obtained through a self-consistent determination of spectroscopic factors utilizing the Macfarlane-French sum rules, for Te-130 -> Xe-130 is shared only between the d, s(1/2), and h(11/2) orbitals, with the g(7/2) playing no significant role. This is in disagreement with recent calculations within both the quasiparticle random-phase approximation and shell-model frameworks, which show a role for the g(7/2) orbital that should have been observable. The neutron pairing properties of Xe-130 have also been explored through the Xe-132((p, t)) reaction showing no evidence for pairing vibrations.
