Neutrinoless double-electron capture

et al. 2020

Double-beta processes play a key role in the exploration of neutrino and weak interaction properties, and in the searches for effects beyond the standard model. During the last half century many attempts were undertaken to search for double-beta decay with emission of two electrons, especially for its neutrinoless mode 0ν2β − , the latter having still not been observed. Double-electron capture (2EC)was not yet in focus because of its in general lower transition probability. However, the rate of neutrinoless double-electron capture 0ν2EC can experience a resonance enhancement by many orders of magnitude when the initial and final states are energetically degenerate. In the resonant case, the sensitivity of the 0ν2EC process can approach the sensitivity of the 0ν2β − decay in the search for the Majorana mass of neutrinos, right-handed currents, and other new physics. An overview of the main experimental and theoretical results obtained during the last decade in this field is presented. The experimental part outlines search results of 2EC processes and measurements of the decay energies for possible resonant 0ν2EC transitions. An unprecedented precision in the determination of decay energies with Penning traps has allowed one to refine the values of the degeneracy parameter for all previously known near-resonant decays and has reduced the rather large uncertainties in the estimate of the 0ν2EC half-lives. The theoretical part contains an updated analysis of the electron shell effects and an overview of the nuclear-structure models, in which the nuclear matrix elements of the 0ν2EC decays are calculated. One can conclude that the decay probability of 0ν2EC can experience a significant enhancement in several nuclides.

“…The total TeO 2 mass is 39 kg and the 120 Te mass was 28 g, which correponded to 1.3 × 10 23 atoms of 120 Te. At present, its upgrade, the CUORE experiment, is running using 19 towers of CUORE-0 with an isotopic mass of 120 Te of 532 g. Different layers of shielding, such as, e.g., an internal low-background Roman lead layer and an external anti-radon box, surround the cryostat and the crystals [203][204][205].…”

Status and Perspectives of 2ϵ, ϵβ+ and 2β+ Decays

2021

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

This paper reviews the main experimental techniques and the most significant results in the searches for the 2ϵ, ϵβ+ and 2β+ decay modes. Efforts related to the study of these decay modes are important, since they can potentially offer complementary information with respect to the cases of 2β− decays, which allow a better constraint of models for the nuclear structure calculations. Some positive results that have been claimed will be mentioned, and some new perspectives will be addressed shortly.

Cosmogenic Activation in Double Beta Decay Experiments

Double beta decay is a very rare nuclear process and, therefore, experiments intended to detect it must be operated deep underground and in ultra-low background conditions. Long-lived radioisotopes produced by the previous exposure of materials to cosmic rays on the Earth’s surface or even underground can become problematic for the required sensitivity. Here, the studies developed to quantify and reduce the activation yields in detectors and materials used in the set-up of these experiments will be reviewed, considering target materials like germanium, tellurium and xenon together with other ones commonly used like copper, lead, stainless steel or argon. Calculations following very different approaches and measurements from irradiation experiments using beams or directly cosmic rays will be considered for relevant radioisotopes. The effect of cosmogenic activation in present and future double beta decay projects based on different types of detectors will be analyzed too.
