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 کاملImplications for the Cosmic Ray Spectrum of a Negative Electron Neutrino (Mass)
Evidence is presented that the electron neutrino may be a tachyon with mass ≈ −4eV /c – a value consistent with results from tritium beta decay experiments. The evidence consists of an explanation of certain properties of the observed cosmic ray spectrum, including: the existence of a “knee” at 10eV , the E power law after the knee, the dip at 10eV , the changes in composition above the knee, a...
متن کاملMass of Electron-Neutrino and SN1987A Data
By using a fresh analysis of SN1987A data it is shown that mass of the electron neutrino is zero. The masses of other neutrino flavors are found to be non-zero. The neutrino astrophysics has been the subject of great interest for the last many decades. Since it was postulated in 1930, the properties of neutrino and in particular the question of its mass have gained much attention on both theore...
متن کاملA combined beta-beam and electron capture neutrino experiment
The next generation of long baseline neutrino experiments will aim at determining the value of the unknown mixing angle, θ13, the type of neutrino mass hierarchy and the presence of CPviolation in the lepton sector. Beta-beams and electron capture experiments have been studied as viable candidates for long baseline experiments. They use a very clean electron neutrino beam from the β-decays or e...
متن کاملPhysics Reach with a Monochromatic Neutrino Beam from Electron Capture
Neutrino oscillation experiments from different sources have demonstrated non-vanishing neutrino masses and flavour mixings. The next experiments have to address the determination of the connecting mixing U(e3) and the existence of the CP violating phase. Whereas U(e3) measures the strength of the oscillation probability in appearance experiments, the CP phase acts as a phase-shift in the inter...
