Radioactive Decay Caused by Neutrinos?
نویسنده
چکیده
The result of a long-term experiment is presented and discussed. The experiment aimed at testing the hypothesis that radioactive β-decay might be caused by the omnipresent neutrino flux coming from the sun and other sources, by trying to find a positive correlation between the decay rate of tritium and the annually varying solar neutrino flux, due to the annually changing distance from sun to earth.

Radiation Hardness of PS Magnets during β-beam Operation*
The EURISOL β-beam project addresses the design of accelerators for the production of high flux neutrino beams. With the aim to exploit the existing PS and SPS synchrotrons at CERN, it is proposed to create neutrinos and antineutrinos from high intensity radioactive beams. Boosted to high relativistic energies in the SPS and then injected into an elongated storage ring, narrow cones of neutrino...

متن کاملNeutrinos: Heralds of New Physics
The central role of neutrinos in the determination of fundamental interactions is reviewed. The recent Su-perKamiokande discovery of neutrino mass gives an aperçu of physics at short distances, and tests theories of flavor. Quark-lepton symmetries, derived from grand unification and/or string theories, can help determine the standard model parameters in the neutrino sector. Over the last sevent...
متن کاملThe Acceleration and Storage of Radioactive Ions for a Neutrino Factory
The term beta-beam has been coined for the production of a pure beam of electron neutrinos or their antiparticles through the decay of radioactive ions circulating in a storage ring. This concept requires radioactive ions to be accelerated to a Lorentz gamma of 150 for He and 60 for Ne. The neutrino source itself consists of a storage ring for this energy range, with long straight sections in l...
