Characterization of the ^{163}Ho Electron Capture Spectrum: A Step Towards the Electron Neutrino Mass Determination.
The isotope ^{163}Ho is in many ways the best candidate to perform experiments to investigate the value of the electron neutrino mass. It undergoes an electron capture process to ^{163}Dy with an energy available to the decay, Q_{EC}, of about 2.8 keV. According to the present knowledge, this is the lowest Q_{EC} value for such transitions. Here we discuss a newly obtained spectrum of ^{163}Ho,...
متن کاملNeutrino Mass Constraints on Decay and 0 !
0031-9007= In this Letter, we show that upper limits on the neutrino mass translate into upper limits on the class of neutrino-matter interactions that can generate loop corrections to the neutrino mass matrix. We apply our results to and decays and derive model-independent limits on six of the ten parameters used to parametrize contributions to decay that do not belong to the standard model. T...
متن کاملOn the Effective Mass of the Electron Neutrino in Beta Decay ∗
In the presence of mixing between massive neutrino states, the distortion of the electron spectrum in beta decay is, in general, a function of several masses and mixing angles. For 3ν-schemes which describe the solar and atmospheric neutrino data, this distortion can be described by a single effective mass, under certain conditions. In the literature, two different definitions for the effective...
متن کاملElectron Capture Rate in the Sun
For solar conditions, we numerically integrate the density matrix equation for a thermal electron in the field of a Be ion and other plasma ions and smeared-out electrons. Our results are in agreement with previous calculations that are based on a different physical picture, a picture which postulates the existence of distinct continuum and bound state orbits for electrons. The density matrix c...
متن کاملThe Absolute Neutrino Mass Scale, Neutrino Mass Spectrum, Majorana CP-Violation and Neutrinoless Double-Beta Decay
Assuming 3-ν mixing, massive Majorana neutrinos and neutrinoless double-beta ((ββ)0ν -) decay generated only by the (V −A) charged current weak interaction via the exchange of the three Majorana neutrinos, we briefly review the predictions for the effective Majorana mass || in (ββ)0ν -decay and reanalyse the physics potential of future (ββ)0ν -decay experiments to provide information on the ...
