Title: New limits on the mass of majorana neutrino and right-handed heavy bosons

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:6439957

In double ..beta..-decay, the nuclear matrix element can be used to set new limits on the mass of Marjorana electron neutrinos or right-handed heavy W bosons. We also suggest derivation of the double ..beta..-decay matrix element from the forward angle cross sections for a double Gamow-Teller (0/sup +/ ..-->.. 0/sup +/) transitions via the (..pi..,/sup -/..pi../sup +/) double charge exchange on a /sup 48/Ti target. After corrections for distortion effects and the pion-two nucleons effective interaction the cross sections are equal to the square of the double ..beta..-decay matrix elements.
