Present Status of the Experiment TGV II

Present status of the experiment TGV II is given. The experiment TGV II is devoted to the measurement of double-beta decay of ¹⁰⁶Cd and ⁴⁸Ca. The new HPGe multi-detector TGV spectrometer has been constructed and installed in the Modane underground laboratory (in France). Preliminary results of the first background measurement are presented.     

Beta decays and muon capture as probes of ββ matrix elements

Detection of the neutrinoless double-beta decay is essential in probing physics beyond the standard model of electroweak and strong interactions. At the moment there is a considerable uncertainty associated with the calculation of the involved nuclear matrix elements. This uncertainty can be diminished by suitably chosen nuclear probes, like beta decays and nuclear muon capture. The related experiments are urgently called for. Presented by J. Suhonen at the Workshop on calculation of double-beta-decay matrix elements (MEDEX’05), Corfu, Greece, September 26–29, 2005.     

Octupolar-excitation Penning-trap mass spectrometry for Q-value measurement of double-electron capture in (164)Er

The theory of octupolar-excitation ion-cyclotron-resonance mass spectrometry is presented which predicts an increase of up to several orders of magnitude in resolving power under certain conditions. The new method has been applied for a direct Penning-trap mass-ratio determination of the (164)Er-(164)Dy mass doublet. (164)Er is a candidate for the search for neutrinoless double-electron capture. However, the measured Q(??) value of 25.07(12) keV results in a half-life of 10(30) years for a 1 eV Majorana-neutrino mass.     

First results of the CAKE experiment

We present the preliminary results of the cosmic abundances below the knee energies (CAKE) experiment for the study of the primary cosmic-ray composition and for the search of exotic particles in the primary cosmic radiation. CAKE uses CR39^® and Lexan nuclear track detectors, which were calibrated with beams of 158 AGeV Pb ions and 1 AGeV Fe ions at the CERN and BNL accelerators, respectively. Results based on the analysis of a first data sample are shown.

Electron capture rates for iron group nuclei at the surface of magnetar

Effects of an ultra-strong magnetic field on electron capture rates for 55Co are analyzed in the nuclear shell model and under the Landau energy levels quantized approximation in the ultra-strong magnetic field, and the electron capture rates on 10 abundant iron group nuclei at the surface of a magnetar are given. The results show that electron capture rates on 55Co are increased greatly in the ultra-strong magnetic field, by about 3 orders of magnitude generally. These conclusions play an important role in future study of the evolution of magnetars.     

Search for double beta decay of <Superscript>106</Superscript>Cd in the TGV-2 experiment

An investigation of double beta decay (β⁺β⁺, β⁺/EC, EC/EC) of ¹⁰⁶Cd was performed at the Modane underground laboratory (at a water equivalent depth of 4800 m) using a TGV-2 spectrometer with 32 detectors. Evaluation of the experimental data accumulated over 12 400 h of measuring ～13.6 g of ¹⁰⁶Cd with an enrichment of 75% was performed. New limits (at a confidence level of 90%) on the half-lives of the 0νEC/EC resonant decay of ¹⁰⁶Cd to the 2741 keV excited state of ¹⁰⁶Pd ? T _1/2 ≥ 1.5 × 10²⁰ y and on 2νEC/EC decay to the ground state of ¹⁰⁶Pd (0⁺ → 0⁺, g.s.) ? T _1/2 ≥ 3.9 × 10²⁰ y were obtained. The limits of the 2νEC/EC decay of ¹⁰⁶Cd to the 2⁺, 512 keV and 0 ₁ ⁺ , 1334 keV excited states of ¹⁰⁶Pd and 2νβ⁺β⁺- and the 2νβ⁺ EC decays of ¹⁰⁶Cd to the ground and excited states of ¹⁰⁶Pd were improved.

First principles study of nuclear quadrupole interactions in the molecular solid BF3 and the nature of binding between the molecules

The LPCTrap facility is coupled to the low-energy beam line LIRAT of the SPIRAL source at GANIL (France). The facility comprises an RFQ trap for beam preparation and a transparent Paul trap for in-trap decay studies. The system has been tested for several ion species. The Paul trap has been fully characterized for ⁶Li⁺ and ²³Na⁺ ions. This characterization together with GEANT4 simulations of the in-trap decay setup (Paul trap and detection system) has permitted to predict the effect of the size of the ion cloud on the decay study of ⁶He⁺.
