The NEMO-3 detector has been taking data in the Fréjus underground laboratory (LSM, France) since February 2003 and is devoted
to the search for neutrinoless double-beta decay (0νββ). After 389 effective days of data collection from February 2003 until September 2004 (Phase I), no evidence for neutrinoless
double-beta decay was found from ∼7 kg of 100Mo and ∼1 kg of 82Se. The corresponding limits for the half-lives are T
1/2(0νββ) > 4.6 × 1023 yr for 100Mo and T
1/2(0νββ) > 1.0 × 1023 yr for 82Se (90% C.L.). They lead to the following limits for the effective Majorana neutrino mass: 〈m
ν〉 < 0.7–2.8 eV for 100Mo and 〈m
ν〉 < 1.8–4.9 eV for 82Se. The half-lives of the two-neutrino double-beta decay (2νββ) have been measured for 100Mo, 82Se, 116Cd, 150Nd, and 96Zr and reported here as well.

A search for 2β decay of 136Xe with two high-pressure copper proportional counters was carried out in the Baksan Neutrino Observatory. The experiment
is based on comparison of spectra measured with natural and enriched xenon. No evidence was found for 2β(2ν) and 2β(0ν) decay. The decay half-life limit based on data measured for 8000 h is T
1/2 ≥ 8.5 × 1021 yr for 2ν mode and T
1/2 ≥ 3.1 × 1023 yr for 0ν mode (90% C.L.).

New results for the double beta decay of 76
Ge are presented. They are extracted from data obtained with the HEIDELBERG-MOSCOW experiment, which operates five enriched
76
Ge detectors in an extreme low-level environment in the Gran Sasso underground laboratory. The two-neutrino-accompanied double
beta decay is evaluated for the first time for all five detectors with a statistical significance of 47.7 kg y resulting in
a half-life of T
1/2
2ν = [1.55±0.01(stat)+0.19
-0.15(syst)]×1021 y. The lower limit on the half-life of the 0νββ decay obtained with pulse shape analysis is T
1/2
0ν > 1.9×1025(3.1×1025) y with 90% C.L. (68% C.L.) (with 35.5 kg y). This results in an upper limit of the effective Majorana-neutrino mass of 0.35
eV (0.27 eV) using the matrix elements of A. Staudt et al.'s work (Europhys. Lett. 13, 31 (1990)). This is the most stringent limit at present from double beta decay. No evidence for a majoron-emitting decay
mode is observed.

The violated commutation condition between the total shell model Hamiltonian and Gamow-Teller operator (GT) has been restored
by Pyatov method (PM). The considered nuclear model Hamiltonian in PM includes the separable GT residual interaction in ph
and pp channels and is differentiated from the traditional schematic model by h
0(restoration term). The influence of the h
0 effective interaction on the 2νββ decay of 48Ca, 76Ge, 82Se, 96Zr, 100Mo, 116Cd, 128,130Te and 136Xe is investigated. All the calculations have been done within the framework of standard QRPA. The results obtained by PM
are compared with those of other approaches and experimental data. The influence of the restoration term on the stability
of the 2νββ decay nuclear matrix elements is analysed.

A comparison is made of the probability of the process of two-neutrino double β decay for 82Se and 96Zr in direct (counter) and geochemical experiments. The experimental data for 130Te are analyzed. It is shown that this probability is systematically lower in geochemical experiments, which characterize
the probability of 2 β(2 v) decay 109 yr ago. It is proposed that this could be due to a change in the weak-interaction constant with time. It is proposed that
a series of new, precise measurements be performed with the aid of counters and geochemical experiments.

The two-neutrino double beta decay of96Zr isotope for 0+ → 2+ transition has been studied in the PHFB model. In our earlier work, the reliability of the intrinsic wave functions of96Zr and96Mo isotopes has been established by obtaining an overall agreement between a number of theoretically calculated spectroscopic
properties as well as half-lives of 2vββ decay for 0+ → 0+ transition and the available experimental data. In the present work, the half-life of 2vββ decay for 0+ ar 2+ transition T

The MOON (Majorana/Mo Observatory Of Neutrinos) project aims at studies of the Majorana nature of the neutrino (ν) and the ν-mass spectrum by spectroscopic experiments of neutrino-less double beta decays (0νββ) with the ν-mass sensitivity of 〈m

〉 = 100−30 meV. The solid scintillator option of the MOON detector is a super ensemble of multi-layer modules, each being
composed by PL scintillator plates and position-sensitive detector planes with good overall energy resolution of σ ≈ 2% at the Q
ββ
≈ 3 MeV. Thin ββ source films are interleaved between the detector planes. High localization of the two β tracks enables one to select true signals and reject BG ones. The multi-layer structure of the detector makes it realistic
to build a compact ton-scale detector. MOON with detector ≠ ββ source is used for studying 0νββ decays from 100Mo, 82Se and other ββ isotopes with large Q
ββ
. Real-time exclusive measurements of low energy solar neutrinos can be made by observing inverse β rays from solar-ν captures of 100Mo in delayed coincidence with the subsequent β decay of 100Tc. 相似文献

The possibilities of using NEMO techniques for future neutrinoless double-beta decay experiments are discussed. The main idea is to have a realistic program with planned sensitivity for half-life measurement on the level of ~(1.5–2)×1026 yr (sensitivity to neutrino mass ~0.04–0.1 eV). It is argued that this can be achieved using the improved NEMO technique to study 100 kg of 82Se. A possible scheme for a future SUPERNEMO detector and its main characteristics are presented. Such a detector can also be used to investigate 0νββ decay in 100Mo, 130Te, and 116Cd with a sensitivity of up to ~(2–5)×1025 yr or with a sensitivity to neutrino mass of ~0.04–0.26 eV. 相似文献

48Ca, the lightest double beta decay candidate, has been until now the only one simple enough to be treated exactly in the nuclear
shell model. Thus, theββ(2ν) half-life measurement, reported here, provides a unique test of the nuclear physics involved in theββ matrix element calculation. Enriched48Ca sources of two different thicknesses have been exposed in a time projection chamber, and yieldT

Two-neutrino ββ decay matrix elements and half-life of 48Ca are calculated after including neutron-proton pairing correlations in projected Hartree-Fock-Bogoliubov (PHFB) formalism.
The GT matrix elements in 2νββ decay are reduced due to broader smearing of Fermi surfaces. Half-life results for 2νββ decay of 48Ca with np pairing are better than without pairing. 相似文献

CUORICINO is an array of 62 TeO2 bolometers with a total mass of 40.7 kg (11.2 kg of 130Te), operated at about 10 mK to search for ββ(0ν) of 130Te. The detectors are organized as a 14-story tower and intended as a slightly modified version of one of the 19 towers of
the CUORE project, a proposed tightly packed array of 988 TeO2 bolometers (741 kg of total mass of TeO2) for ultralow-background searches on neutrinoless double-beta decay, cold dark matter, solar axions, and rare nuclear decays.
Started in April 2003 at the Laboratori Nazionali del Gran Sasso (LNGS), CUORICINO data taking was stopped in November 2003
to repair the readout wiring system of the 62 bolometers. Restarted in spring 2004, CUORICINO is presently the most sensitive
running experiment on neutrinoless double-beta decay. No evidence for ββ(0ν) decay has been found so far and a new lower limit, T

The two-neutrino double-beta decay of 124, 126Xe , 128, 130Te , 130, 132Ba and 150Nd isotopes is studied in the Projected Hartree-Fock-Bogoliubov (PHFB) model. Theoretical 2ν β-β- half-lives of 128, 130Te , and 150Nd isotopes, and 2ν β+β+ , 2ν β+
EC and 2ν ECEC for 124, 126Xe and 130, 132Ba nuclei are presented. Calculated quadrupolar transition probabilities B(E2 : 0+ → 2+) , static quadrupole moments and g -factors in the parent and daughter nuclei reproduce the experimental information, validating the reliability of the model
wave functions. The anticorrelation between nuclear deformation and the nuclear transition matrix element M

The Germanium Detector Array (GERDA) in the search for neutrinoless ββ decays of 76Ge at LNGS will operate bare germanium diodes enriched in 76Ge in an (optional active) cryogenic fluid shield to investigate neutrinoless ββ decay with a sensitivity of T
1/2 > 2 × 1026 yr after an exposure of 100 kg yr. Recent progress includes the installation of the first underground infrastructures at
Gran Sasso, the completion of the enrichment of 37.5 kg of germanium material for detector construction, prototyping of low-mass
detector support and contacts, and front-end and DAQ electronics, as well as the preparation for construction of the cryogenic
vessel and water tank.

Neutrinoless double-beta decay (ββ(0ν)) is the most sensitive process in the search for leptonic number violation and its discovery would prove that the neutrino
is a Majorana particle. From the experience of the NEMO-3 detector construction and data analysis, the NEMO Collaboration
proposes a three-year R&D program in order to design a detector (SuperNEMO) sensitive to a ββ(0ν) period of few 1026 yr coupling track reconstruction and calorimeter.

One promising approach to the search for neutrinoless double beta (0ν2β) decay is the use of liquid scintillators with double
β-decay sources dissolved in them. The 150Nd isotope is the one best suited to observing this process. Samples of liquid scintillators based on linear alkylbenzene
with a neodymium mass fraction of 0.32% are described in this work; neodymium 4-methyloctanoate was used as a Nd-loaded additive.
The spectral-luminescent and scintillation properties of the new materials were studied. The possibility of using the obtained
compounds in experiments to search for 0ν2β decay is demonstrated. 相似文献

Two-neutrino double beta decay of 100Mo with half-life T 1/2=[7.2±0.9(stat)± 1.8(syst)]×1018 yr was detected using a liquid argon ionization chamber. With a C.L. of 68% (90%), the bounds on neutrinoless decay and decay with majoron emission were found to be 8.4(4.9)×1021 and 4.1(3.2)×1020 yr, respectively. An analysis of all available results provides the average “world” value T 1/2=(8.0±0.7)×1018 yr for the two-neutrino decay of 100Mo, and the corresponding nuclear matrix element is M GT=0.118±0.005. 相似文献

A component analysis of the background of a copper proportional counter with allowance for its input to the parametric region
of events due to the expected 2K-capture in 78Kr is presented. The technique of discriminating the simulated events on the edges of the working length of the anode wire
is described by comparing the pulse amplitudes of the sought pulse and the first afterpulse in a detector filled with pure
krypton without quenchers. The limit on 2K(2ν)-capture for the ground state 78Se (0+ → 0+, g.s.) was found to be T

The nuclear matrix elements M
0ν
of the neutrinoless double-beta decay (0νβ β) of most nuclei with known 2νββ-decay rates are systematically evaluated using the Quasiparticle Random Phase Approximation (QRPA) and Renormalized QRPA
(RQRPA). The experimental 2νβ β-decay rate is used to adjust the most relevant parameter, the strength of the particle-particle interaction. With such procedure
the M
0ν
values become essentially independent of single-particle basis size, the axial vector quenching factor, etc. Theoretical
arguments in favor of the adopted way of determining the interaction parameters are presented. It is suggested that most of
the spread among the published M
0ν
’s can be ascribed to the choices of implicit and explicit parameters, inherent to the QRPA method.
