Comparative tests of isospin - symmetry - breaking corrections to superallowed 0 + → 0 + nuclear β decay
We present a test with which to evaluate the calculated isospin-symmetry-breaking corrections to superallowed 0+ → 0+ nuclear β decay. The test is based on the corrected experimental F t values being required to satisfy conservation of the vector current (CVC). When applied to six sets of published calculations, the test demonstrates quantitatively that only one set, the one based on the shell ...
متن کاملNuclear structure and double beta decay
Study of the neutrinoless double beta decay, 0νββ, includes a variety of problems of nuclear structure theory. They are reviewed here. The problems range from the mechanism of the decay, i.e. exchange of the light Majorana neutrino neutrino vesus the exchange of some heavy, so far unobserved particle. Next, the proper expressions for the corresponding operator are described that should include ...
متن کاملNuclear Physics of Double Beta Decay
Study of the neutrinoless ββ decay allows us to put a stringent limit on the effective neutrino Majorana mass, a quantity of fundamental importance. To test our ability to evaluate the nuclear matrix elements that govern the decay rate, it is desirable to be able to describe the allowed two-neutrino decay. It is argued that only low-lying virtual intermediate states are important for that proce...
متن کاملNuclear physics aspects of double beta decay
— Comprehensive description of the phenomenology of the ββ decay is given, with emphasis on the nuclear physics aspects. After a brief review of the neutrino oscillation results and of motivation to test the lepton number conservation, the mechanism of the 0νββ is discussed. Its relation to the lepton flavor violation involving charged leptons and its use as a diagnostic tool of the 0νββ mechan...
متن کاملTRIUMF E-823: Tests of the Standard Model from Nuclear Beta-Decay Studies at ISAC
The goal of the E-823 experimental program is to measure precise half-lives and branching ratios for superallowed 0-to-0 beta emitters in mediummass (A > 60) nuclei produced by the new ISAC radioactive-beam facility at TRIUMF. This is an important adjunct to our program at the Cyclotron Institute to probe CKM unitarity via superallowed beta decay [1]. In addition to the TAMU participants, the E...
