Scaling Factor Inconsistencies in Neutrinoless Double Beta Decay
S. Cowell Theoretical Division, Los Alamos National Laboratory, Los Alamos, New Mexico, 87545, USA (Dated: December 6, 2005) The modern theory of neutrinoless double beta decay includes a scaling factor that has often been treated inconsistently in the literature. The nuclear contribution to the decay half life can be suppressed by 15-20% when scaling factors are mismatched. Correspondingly, 〈m...
متن کاملNeutrinoless double beta decay
The status of the search for neutrinoless double beta decay is reviewed. The effort to reach the sensitivity needed to cover the effective Majorana neutrino mass corresponding to the degenerate and inverted mass hierarchy is described. Various issues concerning the theory (and phenomenology) of the relation between the 0νββ decay rate and the absolute neutrino mass scale are discussed, in parti...
متن کاملNeutrinoless Double-Beta Decay
This paper introduces the neutrinoless double-beta decay the rarest nuclear weak process and describes the status of the research for this transition, both from the point of view of theoretical nuclear physics and in terms of the present and future experimental scenarios. Implications of this phenomenon on crucial aspects of particle physics are briefly discussed. The calculations of the nuclea...
متن کاملNeutrinoless Double Beta Decay Constraints∗
A brief overview is given of theoretical analyses with neutrinoless double beta decay experiments. Theoretical bounds on the “observable”, 〈m〉ββ , are presented. By using experimental bounds on 〈m〉ββ , allowed regions are obtained on the ml-cos 2θ12 plane, where ml stands for the lightest neutrino mass. It is shown that Majorana neutrinos can be excluded by combining possible results of future ...
متن کاملNeutrinoless double beta decay experiments
The study of neutrinoless double beta decay is of outmost importance for neutrino physics. It is considered to be the gold plated channel to probe the fundamental character of neutrinos and to determine the neutrino mass. From the experimental point about nine different isotopes are explored for the search. After a general introduction follows a short discussion on nuclear matrix element calcul...
