Title: Valence neutron properties relevant to the neutrinoless double- $β$ decay of $^{130}$ 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.

Improved Limit on Neutrinoless Double-Beta Decay in ${}^{130}{Te}$ with CUORE

Journal Article Adams, D. Q. ; Alduino, C. ; Alfonso, K. ; ... - Physical Review Letters

We report new results from the search for neutrinoless double-beta decay in $$^{130}$$Te with the CUORE detector. This search benefits from a four-fold increase in exposure, lower trigger thresholds and analysis improvements relative to our previous results. We observe a background of $$(1.38\pm0.07)\cdot10^{-2}$$ counts$/($keV$$\cdot$$kg$$\cdot$$yr$$)$$ in the $$0\nu\beta\beta$$ decay region of interest and, with a total exposure of 372.5 kg$$\cdot$$yr, we attain a median exclusion sensitivity of $$1.7\cdot10^{25}$$ yr. We find no evidence for $$0\nu\beta\beta$$ decay and set a $$90\%$$ CI Bayesian lower limit of $$3.2\cdot10^{25}$$ yr on the $$^{130}$$Te half-life for this process. In the hypothesis that $$0\nu\beta\beta$$ decay ismore »« less

First Results from CUORE: A Search for Lepton Number Violation via $0 ν β β$ Decay of ${}^{130}{Te}$

Journal Article Alduino, C. ; Alessandria, F. ; Alfonso, K. ; ... - Physical Review Letters

The CUORE experiment, a ton-scale cryogenic bolometer array, recently began operation at the Laboratori Nazionali del Gran Sasso in Italy. The array represents a significant advancement in this technology, and in this work we apply it for the first time to a high-sensitivity search for a lepton-number-violating process: ¹³⁰Te neutrinoless double-beta decay. Examining a total TeO ₂ exposure of 86.3 kg yr, characterized by an effective energy resolution of (7.7 ± 0.5) keV FWHM and a background in the region of interest of (0.014 ± 0.002) counts /(keV kg yr), we find no evidence for neutrinoless double-beta decay.

Neutron pair correlations in $A = 100$ nuclei involved in neutrinoless double- $β$ decay

Journal Article Thomas, J. S. ; Freeman, S. J. ; Deibel, C. M. ; ... - Physical Review. C, Nuclear Physics

The pairing properties of the neutrinoless double-beta decay (0 nu 2 beta) candidate Mo-100 have been studied, along with its daughter Ru-100, to provide input for nuclear matrix element calculations relevant to the decay. The (p, t) two-neutron transfer reaction was measured on nuclei of Ru-102,Ru-100 and Mo-100,Mo-98. The experiment was designed to have particular sensitivity to 0(+) states up to excitation energies of similar to 3 MeV with high energy resolution. Measurements were made at two angles and L = 0 transitions identified by the ratio of yields between the two angles. For the reactions leading to and frommore »« less

Analysis techniques for the evaluation of the neutrinoless double- $β$ decay lifetime in ${}^{130}{Te}$ with the CUORE-0 detector

Journal Article Alduino, C. ; Alfonso, K. ; Artusa, D. R. ; ... - Physical Review C

We describe in detail the methods used to obtain the lower bound on the lifetime of neutrinoless double-beta ( 0 ν β β ) decay in 130 Te and the associated limit on the effective Majorana mass of the neutrino using the CUORE-0 detector. CUORE-0 is a bolometric detector array located at the Laboratori Nazionali del Gran Sasso that was designed to validate the background reduction techniques developed for CUORE, a next-generation experiment scheduled to come online in 2016. CUORE-0 is also a competitive 0 ν β β decay search in its own right and functions as a platform tomore »« less

Beam-Target Double-Spin Asymmetry $A_{LT}$ in Charged Pion Production from Deep Inelastic Scattering on a Transversely Polarized ${}^{3}{He}$ Target at $1.4 < Q^{2} < 2.7 {GeV}^{2}$

Journal Article Huang, J. ; Allada, K. ; Dutta, C. ; ... - Physical Review Letters

We report the first measurement of the double-spin asymmetry A _LT for charged pion electroproduction in semi-inclusive deep inelastic electron scattering on a transversely polarized ³He target. The kinematics focused on the valence quark region, 0.16 < x < 0.35 with 1.4 < Q ² < 2.7 GeV ². The corresponding neutron A _LT asymmetries were extracted from the measured ³He asymmetries and proton/ ³He cross section ratios using the effective polarization approximation. These new data probe the transverse momentum dependent parton distribution function g _1T ^q and therefore provide access to quark spin-orbit correlations. Our results indicate a positivemore »« less
