Title: Determination of the direct double- $β$ -decay $Q$ value of ${}_{96}{Zr}$ and atomic masses of ${}_{90 - 92, 94, 96}{Zr}$ and ${}_{92, 94 - 98, 100}{Mo}$

Abstract

Experimental searches for neutrinoless double-β decay offer one of the best opportunities to look for physics beyond the standard model. Detecting this decay would confirm the Majorana nature of the neutrino, and a measurement of its half-life can be used to determine the absolute neutrino mass scale. Important to both tasks is an accurate knowledge of the Q value of the double-β decay. The LEBIT Penning trap mass spectrometer was used for the first direct experimental determination of the ⁹⁶Zr double-β decay Q value: Q_ββ=3355.85(15) keV. This value is nearly 7 keV larger than the 2012 Atomic Mass Evaluation [M. Wang et al., Chin. Phys. C 36, 1603 (2012)] value and one order of magnitude more precise. The 3-σ shift is primarily due to a more accurate measurement of the ⁹⁶Zr atomic mass: m(⁹⁶Zr)=95.90827735(17) u. Using the new Q value, the 2νββ-decay matrix element, |M_2ν|, is calculated. Improved determinations of the atomic masses of all other zirconium (^90-92,94,96Zr) and molybdenum (^92,94-98,100Mo) isotopes using both ¹²C₈ and ⁸⁷Rb as references are also reported.

Decays of the Three Top Contributors to the Reactor ${\bar{ν}}_{e}$ High-Energy Spectrum, ${}^{92}{Rb}$ , ${}^{96 gs}Y$ , and ${}^{142}{Cs}$ , Studied with Total Absorption Spectroscopy

Journal Article Rasco, B. C. ; Wolińska-Cichocka, M. ; Fijałkowska, A. ; ... - Physical Review Letters

Here, we report total absorption spectroscopy measurements of ⁹²Rb, ⁹⁶^gsY, and ¹⁴²Cs β decays, which are the most important contributors to the high energy ν¯_e spectral shape in nuclear reactors. These three β decays contribute 43% of the ¯νe flux near 5.5 MeV emitted by nuclear reactors. This ν¯_e energy is particularly interesting due to spectral features recently observed in several experiments including the Daya Bay, Double Chooz, and RENO Collaborations. Measurements were conducted at Oak Ridge National Laboratory by means of proton-induced fission of ²³⁸U with on-line mass separation of fission fragments and the Modular Total Absorption Spectrometer.

Journal Article Kandegedara, R. M. E. B. ; Bollen, G. ; Eibach, M. ; ... - Physical Review C

This manuscript describes a measurement of the Q value for the highly forbidden beta-decays of ⁵⁰V and the double electron capture decay of ⁵⁰Cr. The Q value corresponds to the total energy released during the decay and is equivalent to the mass difference between parent and daughter atoms. This mass difference was measured using high precision Penning trap mass spectrometry with the Low Energy Beam and Ion Trap facility at the National Superconducting Cyclotron Laboratory. The Q value enters into theoretical calculations of the half-life and beta-decay spectrum for the decay, so improves these calculations. In addition the Q valuemore »« less

Journal Article Stefanini, A. M. ; Montagnoli, G. ; Esbensen, H. ; ... - Physical Review C

Near- and sub-barrier fusion of various Ca + Zr isotopic combinations have been widely investigated. A recent analysis of ⁴⁰Ca + ⁹⁶Zr data has highlighted the importance of couplings to multiphonon excitations and to both neutron and proton transfer channels. Analogous studies of ⁴⁰Ca + ⁹⁰Zr tend to exclude any role of transfer couplings. However, the lowest measured cross section for this system is rather high (840μb). Here, a rather complete data set is available for ⁴⁰Ca + ⁹⁴Zr, while no measurement of ⁴⁰Ca + ⁹²Zr fusion has been performed in the past.
