摘要:

我们从显式洛伦兹不变的手征拉格朗日量出发,对由轻马约拉纳中微子诱导的$nn\ ightarrow pp e^-e^-$过程的跃迁振幅给出无模型预测,该过程是大规模搜寻实验所用重核中无中微子双β衰变($0νββ$)的关键过程。与非相对论情形不同,我们证明该跃迁振幅可在领头阶重整化,无需任何不确定的接触算符。预测的振幅为以往依赖模型输入的估算提供了严格基准,并大幅降低了核矩阵元计算中$0νββ$跃迁算符的不确定性。本框架的推广还有助于解决其他机制诱导的$0νββ$衰变的不确定性。此外,本工作推动了轻核与中等质量核中$0νββ$衰变的相对论性从头算研究。

英文摘要:

Starting from a manifestly Lorentz-invariant chiral Lagrangian, we present a model-free prediction for the transition amplitude of the process $nn\rightarrow pp e^-e^-$ induced by light Majorana neutrinos, which is a key process of the neutrinoless double beta decay ($0νββ$) in heavy nuclei employed in large-scale searches. Contrary to the nonrelativistic case, we show that the transition amplitude can be renormalized at leading order without any uncertain contact operators. The predicted amplitude defines a stringent benchmark for the previous estimation with model-dependent inputs, and greatly reduces the uncertainty of $0νββ$ transition operator in the calculations of nuclear matrix elements. Generalizations of the present framework could also help to address the uncertainties in $0νββ$ decay induced by other mechanisms. In addition, the present work motivates a relativistic {\it ab initio} calculation of $0νββ$ decay in light and medium-mass nuclei.
