$γγ$衰变作为无中微子$ββ$衰变核矩阵元的探针

$γγ$ decay as a probe of neutrinoless $ββ$ decay nuclear matrix elements

B. Romeo, J. Menéndez, C. Peña

摘要:

我们研究了从钛到氙的各种核的双伽马($γγ$)衰变核矩阵元素(NME),并探讨了它们与无中微子双β($0νββ$)NME的关系。为了有利于比较,我们专注于双磁偶极子跃迁的最终$ββ$核,特别是$γγ$衰减的双同量异位素类似物的初始$ββ$状态到基态。对于等能量光子的衰变,我们的大尺度核壳模型结果表明,$γγ$和$0νββ$ NME之间有很好的线性相关性。我们的分析表明,由于零耦合核子对的主导地位,由自旋或轨道角动量驱动的$γγ$跃迁的相关性成立,这是$0νββ$衰变的共同特征。我们的壳模型研究结果指出了未来$γγ$衰变测量限制$0νββ$ NME的潜力,这是回答基于$0νββ$实验的基本物理问题的关键。

英文摘要:

We study double gamma ($γγ$) decay nuclear matrix elements (NMEs) for a wide range of nuclei from titanium to xenon, and explore their relation to neutrinoless double-beta ($0νββ$) NMEs. To favor the comparison, we focus on double-magnetic dipole transitions in the final $ββ$ nuclei, in particular the $γγ$ decay of the double isobaric analog of the initial $ββ$ state into the ground state. For the decay with equal-energy photons, our large-scale nuclear shell model results show a good linear correlation between the $γγ$ and $0νββ$ NMEs. Our analysis reveals that the correlation holds for $γγ$ transitions driven by the spin or orbital angular momentum due to the dominance of zero-coupled nucleon pairs, a feature common to $0νββ$ decay. Our shell-model findings point out the potential of future $γγ$ decay measurements to constrain $0νββ$ NMEs, which are key to answer fundamental physics questions based on $0νββ$ experiments.
