Title: Direct determination of the ${}^{138}{La} β$ -decay $Q$ value using Penning trap mass spectrometry

Abstract

Background: The understanding and description of forbidden decays provides interesting challenges for nuclear theory. These calculations could help to test underlying nuclear models and interpret experimental data. Purpose: Compare a direct measurement of the 138La β-decay Q value with the β-decay spectrum end-point energy measured by Quarati et al. using LaBr3 detectors [Appl. Radiat. Isot. 108, 30 (2016)]. Use new precise measurements of the 138La β-decay and electron capture (EC) Q values to improve theoretical calculations of the β-decay spectrum and EC probabilities. Method: High-precision Penning trap mass spectrometry was used to measure cyclotron frequency ratios of 138La, 138Ce, and 138Ba ions from which β-decay and EC Q values for 138La were obtained. Results: The 138La β-decay and EC Q values were measured to be Qβ = 1052.42(41) keV and QEC = 1748.41(34) keV, improving the precision compared to the values obtained in the most recent atomic mass evaluation [Wang et al., Chin. Phys. C 41, 030003 (2017)] by an order of magnitude. These results are used for improved calculations of the 138La β-decay shape factor and EC probabilities. New determinations for the 138Ce 2EC Q value and the atomic masses of 138La, 138Ce, and 138Ba are also reported. Conclusion:more »« less

Conclusion: The 138La β-decay Q value measured by Quarati et al. is in excellent agreement with our new result, which is an order of magnitude more precise. Uncertainties in the shape factor calculations for 138La β decay using our new Q value are reduced by an order of magnitude. Uncertainties in the EC probability ratios are also reduced and show improved agreement with experimental data.},

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

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

Precise $$\textit{Q}$$-value measurements of ^112,113Ag and ¹¹⁵Cd with the Canadian Penning trap for evaluation of potential ultralow $$\textit{Q}$$-value $$\textit{β}$$ decays

Journal Article Gamage, N. D. ; Sandler, R. ; Buchinger, F. ; ... - Physical Review. C

Background: An ultralow Q-value β decay can occur from a parent nuclide to an excited nuclear state in the daughter such that QUL≲ 1 keV. These decay processes are of interest for nuclear β-decay theory and as potential candidates in neutrino mass determination experiments. To date, only one ultralow Q-value β decay has been observed—that of 115In with Qβ=147(10) eV. A number of other potential candidates exist, but improved mass measurements are necessary to determine if these decay channels are energetically allowed and, in fact, ultralow. Purpose: To perform precise β-decay Q-value measurements of 112,113Ag and 115Cd and to usemore »« less

Precise absolute $γ$ -ray and $β^{-}$ -decay branching intensities in the decay of ${}_{29}^{67}{Cu}$

Journal Article Chen, J. ; Kondev, F. G. ; Ahmad, I. ; ... - Physical Review C, Nuclear Physics

In this work, absolute γ-ray emission probabilities in the β^- decay of ⁶⁷Cu were measured by means of γ-ray and β^--decay singles and β^--γ coincidences. The new results, together with the known decay scheme of ⁶⁷Cu , were used to determine absolute β^- -decay branching intensities. The present data differ significantly from previously published values. In addition, the half-life of the I^π = 1/2^- isomer in ⁶⁷Zn was measured as T_1/2 = 9.37(4) μs, in a good agreement with earlier measurements. Lastly, from the analysis of the Fermi–Kurie plots, Q_β^- ( g.s.) = 560.3 (10) keV was deduced, which differsmore »« less

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
