摘要:

Schechter-Valle定理指出,当不存在任何不可能的微调或抵消时,无中微子双β衰变($0νββ$)的正观测意味着中微子的马约拉纳质量项是有限的。在这篇文章中,我们重新研究了Schechter-Valle定理的定量影响,发现目前实验上$0νββ$衰变核半衰期的下限已经限制了在四圈水平上辐射产生的Majorana中微子质量$|δm^{ee}_ν| < 7.43 \times 10^{-29}~{\rm eV}$的上限。此外,我们将$0νββ$衰变的定量分析推广到轻子数破坏(LNV)介子衰变$M^- \to {M^\prime}^+ + \ell^-_α+ \ell^-_β$(对于$α$,$β$ = $e$或$μ$)。给出了这些稀有LNV衰变的上限,我们分别从$K^- \to π^+ + e^- + e^-$、$K^- \to π^+ + e^- + μ^-$和$K^- \to π^+ + μ^- + μ^-$导出了环诱导的马约拉纳中微子质量$|δm^{ee}_ν| < 9.7 \times 10^{-18}~{\rm eV}$、$|δm^{eμ}_ν| < 1.6 \times 10^{-15}~{\rm eV}$和$|δm^{μμ}_ν| < 1.0 \times 10^{-12}~{\rm eV}$。本文还给出了由$D$、$D_s^{}$和$B$介子的LNV衰变得到的辐射中微子质量的部分列表。

英文摘要:

The Schechter-Valle theorem states that a positive observation of neutrinoless double-beta ($0νββ$) decays implies a finite Majorana mass term for neutrinos when any unlikely fine-tuning or cancellation is absent. In this note, we reexamine the quantitative impact of the Schechter-Valle theorem, and find that current experimental lower limits on the half-lives of $0νββ$-decaying nuclei have placed a restrictive upper bound on the Majorana neutrino mass $|δm^{ee}_ν| < 7.43 \times 10^{-29}~{\rm eV}$ radiatively generated at the four-loop level. Furthermore, we generalize this quantitative analysis of $0νββ$ decays to that of the lepton-number-violating (LNV) meson decays $M^- \to {M^\prime}^+ + \ell^-_α+ \ell^-_β$ (for $α$, $β$ = $e$ or $μ$). Given the present upper limits on these rare LNV decays, we have derived the loop-induced Majorana neutrino masses $|δm^{ee}_ν| < 9.7 \times 10^{-18}~{\rm eV}$, $|δm^{eμ}_ν| < 1.6 \times 10^{-15}~{\rm eV}$ and $|δm^{μμ}_ν| < 1.0 \times 10^{-12}~{\rm eV}$ from $K^- \to π^+ + e^- + e^-$, $K^- \to π^+ + e^- + μ^-$ and $K^- \to π^+ + μ^- + μ^-$, respectively. A partial list of radiative neutrino masses from the LNV decays of $D$, $D_s^{}$ and $B$ mesons is also given.
