在正常质量体系中探测Majorana中微子
Probing Majorana neutrinos in the regime of the normal mass hierarchy
摘要：
本文提出了一种可行的无中微子双β衰变实验的方法，该实验能够探测非简并正常中微子质量体系中的Majorana质量。对于这样的实验，这项研究表明，130 Te可能是候选同位素的最佳选择，金属负载的液体闪烁体可能是探测器技术的最佳选择。所需的加载，闪烁体的性能和探测器配置的评价。虽然需要进一步开发Te负载的液体闪烁体，但该领域的最新进展表明，这一任务可能并非不可克服。这可能为未来的实验打开大门，其灵敏度无与伦比，可能容纳在10-20千吨级的体积中。据我们所知，这是第一次，一个潜在的实用的实验方法来探索马约拉纳中微子质量的非简并正常的层次结构已被建议。
英文摘要：
An approach to developing a feasible neutrinoless double beta decay experiment capable of probing Majorana masses in the regime of the nondegenerate normal neutrino mass hierarchy is proposed. For such an experiment, this study suggests that 130Te is likely the best choice of candidate isotope and that metal-loaded liquid scintillator likely represents the best choice of detector technology. An evaluation of the required loading, scintillator properties and detector configuration is presented. While further development of Te-loaded liquid scintillator is required, recent progress in this area suggests that this task may not be insurmountable. This could open the door for a future experiment of unparalleled sensitivity that might be accommodated in a volume of the order of 10-20 kilotons. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first time that a potentially practical experimental approach to exploring Majorana neutrino masses in the nondegenerate normal hierarchy has been suggested.
