Double Beta Decay: Theory, Experiment, and Implications
Double beta decay is a rare spontaneous nuclear transition in which the nuclear charge changes by two units while the mass number remains the same. It has been long recognized as a powerful tool to study lepton number conservation in general, and neutrino properties in particular. Since the lifetimes of double beta decays are so long, the experiments on double beta decay are very challenging an...
متن کاملMeasurement of the background in the NEMO 3 double beta decay experiment
In the double beta decay experiment NEMO 3 a precise knowledge of the background in the signal region is of outstanding importance. This article presents the methods used in NEMO 3 to evaluate the backgrounds resulting from most if not all possible origins. It also illustrates the power of the combined tracking-calorimetry technique used in the experiment.
متن کاملBackground reduction and sensitivity for germanium double beta decay experiments
Germanium detectors have very good capabilities for the investigation of rare phenomena like the neutrinoless double beta decay. Rejection of the background entangling the expected signal is one primary goal in this kind of experiments. Here, the attainable background reduction in the energy region where the neutrinoless double beta decay signal of Ge is expected to appear has been evaluated fo...
متن کاملPossible background reductions in double beta decay experiments
The background induced by radioactive impurities of Tl and Bi in the source of the double beta experiment NEMO-3 has been investigated. New methods of data analysis which decrease the background from the above mentioned contamination are identified. The techniques can also be applied to other double beta decay Preprint submitted to Elsevier Science experiments capable of measuring independently...
متن کاملSuperNEMO – the next generation double beta decay experiment
The SuperNEMO experiment is being designed to search for neutrinoless double beta decay to test if neutrinos are Majorana particles. The experimental technique follows that of the currently running NEMO-3 experiment, which successfully combines tracking and calorimetry to measure the topology and energy of the final state electrons. Unique particle identification capabilities of SuperNEMO will ...
