Precision measurements in nuclear –decay with LPCTrap
نویسندگان
چکیده
The experimental achievements and the current program with the LPCTrap device installed at the LIRAT beam line of the SPIRAL1-GANIL facility are presented. The device is dedicated to the study of the weak interaction at low energy by means of precise measurements of the angular correlation parameter. Technical aspects as well as the main results are reviewed. The future program with new available beams is briefly discussed.

We review the current status of precision measurements in allowed nuclear beta decay, including neutron decay, with emphasis on their potential to look for new physics beyond the standard electroweak model. The experimental results are interpreted in the framework of phenomenological model-independent descriptions of nuclear beta decay as well as in some specific extensions of the standard mode...
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 ...
متن کاملStrongly stable multi-time stepping method with the option of controlling amplitude decay in responses
Recently, multi-time stepping methods have become very popular among scientist due to their high stability in problems with critical conditions. One important shortcoming of these methods backs to their high amount of uncontrolled amplitude decay. This study proposes a new multi-time stepping method in which the time step is split into two sub-steps. The first sub-step is solved using the well-...
متن کاملSharpening low-energy, standard-model tests via correlation coefficients in neutron beta decay.
The correlation coefficients a, A, and B in neutron beta decay are proportional to the ratio of the axial-vector-to-vector weak coupling constants, gA/gV, to leading recoil order. With the advent of the next generation of neutron-decay experiments, the recoil-order corrections to these expressions become experimentally accessible, admitting a plurality of standard model (SM) tests. The measurem...
متن کاملUsing starch powder for the decontamination of I-131 in isolation rooms
Introduction: Various iodine isotopes are undergoing radioactive decay except Iodine-127 (I-127. Iodine I-131 is unsealed radioactive material used in nuclear medicine for both diagnostic and therapeutic procedures in Royal Hospital since 2006. In radiotoxic classification, I-131 is in group 2 element. I-131 is highly reactive element due to its volatilization nature. Currently...
