Title: Solar neutrino interactions with the double- $β$ decay nuclei ${}^{82}{Se}, {}^{100}{Mo}$ , and ${}^{150}{Nd}$

Abstract

Solar neutrinos interact within double-beta decay (ββ) detectors and contribute to backgrounds for ββ experiments. Background contributions due to solar neutrino interactions with ββ nuclei of ⁸²Se, ¹⁰⁰Mo, and ¹⁵⁰Nd are evaluated. They are shown to be significant for future high-sensitivity ββ experiments that may search for Majorana neutrino masses in the inverted-hierarchy mass region. In conclusion, the impact of solar neutrino backgrounds and their reduction are discussed for future ββ experiments.

High energy-resolution measurement of the ${}^{82}{Se} ({}^{3}{He}, t) {}^{82}{Br}$ reaction for double- $β$ decay and for solar neutrinos

Journal Article Frekers, D. ; Alanssari, M. ; Adachi, T. ; ... - Physical Review C

For this study, a high-resolution (³He,t) charge-exchange experiment at an incident energy of 420 MeV has been performed on the double beta (ββ) decay nucleus ⁸²Se. A detailed Gamow-Teller (GT^-) strength distribution in ⁸²Br has been extracted, which provides information to the ββ-decay nuclear matrix elements. Three strong and isolated transitions, which are to the 75, 1484 and the 2087 keV states in ⁸²Br, are found to dominate the low-excitation region below ≈ 2.1 MeV. Above 2.1 MeV a sudden onset of a strong GT fragmentation is observed. The degree of fragmentation resembles a situation found in the neighboring Amore »« less

Journal Article Gulyuz, K. ; Ariche, J. ; Bollen, G. ; ... - Physical Review. C. Nuclear Physics

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.more »« less

First limit on neutrinoless quadruple $β$ decay of ${}^{150}{Nd}$ to the $0_{1}^{+}$ state of ${}^{150}{Gd}$

Journal Article Kidd, M. F. ; Tornow, W. - Physical Review C

Observation of lepton number violation via detection of neutrinoless double β decay requires that the neutrino be a Majorana particle. If the neutrino is a Dirac particle, a potential lepton-number violating process is neutrinoless quadruple β decay. Only a few nuclei can undergo neutrinoless quadruple β decay; one of these nuclei is ¹⁵⁰Nd. This study yields the first half-life limit of the neutrinoless quadruple β decay to the excitedmore »« 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 TeO₂ 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. Including systematic uncertainties, we place a lower limit on the decay half-life of Tmore »« less

Search for Neutrinoless Double- $β$ Decay in ${}^{76}{Ge}$ with the Majorana Demonstrator

Journal Article Aalseth, C. E. ; Abgrall, N. ; Aguayo, E. ; ... - Physical Review Letters

The MAJORANA Collaboration is operating an array of high purity Ge detectors to search for neutrinoless double-β decay in ⁷⁶Ge. The MAJORANA DEMONSTRATOR comprises 44.1 kg of Ge detectors (29.7 kg enriched in ⁷⁶Ge) split between two modules contained in a low background shield at the Sanford Underground Research Facility in Lead, South Dakota. In this paper, we present results from data taken during construction, commissioning, and the start of full operations. We achieve unprecedented energy resolution of 2.5 keV FWHM at Q_ββ and a very low background with no observed candidate events in 9.95 kg yr of enriched Ge exposure, resulting in a lower limit on the half-life of 1.9 × 10²⁵ yr (90% C.L.). This result constrains the effective Majorana neutrino mass to below 240-520 meV, depending on the matrix elements used. In our experimental configuration with the lowest background, the background is 4.0more »« less
