The mass difference of the nuclides 180W and 180Hf has been measured with the Penning-trap mass spectrometer SHIPTRAP to investigate 180W as a possible candidate for the search for neutrinoless doubleelectron capture. The Q-value was measured to 143.20(27)keV. This value in combination with the calculations of the atomic electron wave functions and other parameters results in a half-life of the 0+ \rightarrow 0+ ground-state to ground-state double-electron capture transition of approximately 5\cdot10E27 years/<m_ee[eV]>^2.

Neutrinoless Double-Beta Decay: A Roadmap for Matching Theory to Experiment
对中微子振荡的观测以及由此产生的非零中微子质量为探索超越标准模型的物理学提供了一个里程碑。但是,即使我们现在知道中微子是有质量的,中微子质量的性质,即,究竟是狄拉克还是马约拉纳,仍然是一个悬而未决的问题。马约拉纳中微子的一个确凿证据是观测到了无中微子的双β衰变,这一过程违反了标准模型的轻子数守恒。本白皮书重点介绍了无中微子双β衰变计划的理论方面,并为未来的发展制定了路线图。路线图是一条多尺度路径,从无中微子双β衰变的高能模型开始,一直到需要解决的低能核多体问题,以补充衰变率的测量。该路径经过对各种尺度下的底层过程的系统有效场论描述,并且需要通过晶格量子色动力学输入来补充。白皮书还讨论了无中微子双β衰变、大型强子对撞机的实验以及天体物理学和宇宙学在TeV尺度下探测轻子数破坏的简化模型的结果之间的相互作用,以及通过轻子生成产生的物质-反物质不对称性。本白皮书是为主题组TF 11准备的(中微子物理学理论),TF 05(格点规范理论),RF 04(重子和轻子数违反过程),NF 03(超越标准模型)和NF 05(中微子性质)在理论前沿,稀有过程和精密前沿,Neutrino Physics Frontier of the U.S. Community Study on the Future of Particle Physics(Snowmass 2021)。
