β衰变的历史概述

β衰变的研究是一个探究物质深层物理原理的过程.它始于β放射性的研究,引导人类对物质的认识开始从原子深入到原子核内部.其能谱的测量,导致了泡利的中微子假设.在此基础上,费米第一次提出了关于β衰变的唯象理论并提出了弱相互作用的概念.此后发展出弱相互作用的中间玻色子理论,使得人类对物质的认识深入到核子内部,促进了电弱统一理论的发展,最终促成了标准模型的完成.文章回顾了β衰变这一横亘整个20世纪的重要物理学事件,对β衰变的研究历史中的关键事件进行了分析和介绍,对理解现代物理学中的标准模型的建立和发展有重要意义.

无中微子双β衰变相关的中微子势（英文）

介绍了在双β衰变中的闭合近似下的原子核矩阵元,并在此基础上研究了无中微子双β衰变的中微子势部分及统计性质。分析结果显示,费米型和伽莫夫-泰勒型矩阵元部分贡献了几乎相等的正值,并且费米型部分一般比伽莫夫-泰勒型部分的贡献稍大,而张量部分的贡献虽小但不可忽略,其中有少量矩阵元为负。阐明了无中微子双β衰变的中微子势中费米型、伽莫夫-泰勒型及张量部分大于零矩阵元的关联。该统计结果粗略地揭示了这些组份对原子核矩阵元的贡献。Nuclear matrix element in double beta decay under the closure approximation is outlined, in which neutrino potential for neutrinoless double beta decay is studied with focusing on its statistical property. It is shown from the analysis that Fermi and Gamow-Teller parts provide almost the same positive values with the Fermi part slightly larger than the Gamow-Teller part in general, while the tensor part includes small but non-negligible positive and negative values. Positive correlation of the values between Fermi, Gamow-Teller, and tensor parts has been clarified. The statistics provides a gross view of understanding amplitude of constitutional components of the nuclear matrix element.

Extrapolation of NEMO Technique to Future Generation of 2β-Decay Experiments

Possibilities of NEMO technique for future neutrinoless double-beta-decay experiments are discussed. Main idea is to have a realistic project with planned sensitivity for half-life on the level (1-2) × 10²⁶ y (sensitivity to neutrino mass (0.05-0.1) eV). It is demonstrated that this can be achieved using improved NEMO technique to investigate 100 kg of ⁸²Se. Possible improvements of NEMO technique and background conditions are discussed. Scheme of future SUPERNEMO detector and main characteristics of experiment are presented. Such detector can be used also to investigate 0 decay in ¹⁰⁰Mo, ¹³⁰Te and ¹¹⁶Cd with sensitivity up to (5-10)×10²⁵ y (or with sensitivity to neutrino mass 0.1 eV).

Cosmological Relics of the High Energy Cold Dark Matter Particle in the Universe

We demonstrate that if the universe is dominated by the massive cold dark matter, then besides the generally believed thermal distribution of the dark matter relics, there may exist some very energetic nonthermal relics of the dark matter particles in the universe from some unknown sources, such as from decay of supermassive X particle released from topological defect collapse or annihilation. Very interesting, we point out that these high energy dark matter particles may be observable in the current and future cosmic ray experiments.     

Effects of dark energy interacting with massive neutrinos and dark matter on universe evolution

In this paper we investigate the evolution of the cosmology model with dark energy interacting with massive neutrinos and dark matter. Using the numerical method to investigate the dynamical system, we find that the stronger the interaction between dark energy and dark matter, the lower the ratio of dark matter in the universe is; also, the stronger the interaction between dark energy and massive neutrinos, the lower the ratio of massive neutrinos in the universe is. On the other hand, the interaction between dark energy and dark matter or massive neutrinos has an effect on disturbing the universe's acceleration; we also find that our universe is still accelerating.

The rich neutrino programme of the SNO+ experiment

The SNO+ experiment is a multi-faceted neutrino experiment re-using the existing infrastructure and detector hardware of the Sudbury Neutrino Observatory located in Vale Inco’s Creighton mine, Sudbury (ON), Canada. The main aim of this, now fully-funded, experiment is the search for neutrinoless double-beta decay, however, it has access to other, very interesting, measurements involving neutrinos, such as lower energy solar neutrinos, geo- and reactor-antineutrinos and supernova neutrinos.

Diffuse ultra-high energy neutrino fluxes and physics beyond the Standard Model

We study spectral distortions of diffuse ultra-high energy (UHE) neutrino flavour fluxes resulting due to physics beyond the Standard Model (SM). Even large spectral differences between flavours at the source are massaged into a common shape at earth by SM oscillations, thus, any significant observed spectral differences are an indicator of new physics present in the oscillation probability during propagation. Lorentz symmetry violation (LV) and neutrino decay are examples, and result in significant distortion of the fluxes and of the well-known bounds on them, which may allow UHE detectors to probe LV parameters, lifetimes and the mass hierarchy over a broad range.
