MAJORANA DEMONSTRATOR 搜寻无中微子双贝塔衰变的结果

Results of the MAJORANA DEMONSTRATOR's Search for Neutrinoless Double Beta Decay

David J. Tedeschi

AI总结:

MAJORANA DEMONSTRATOR 实验利用富集 76Ge 的锗探测器阵列搜寻无中微子双贝塔衰变,凭借世界领先的能量分辨率和极低本底率,基于 65 kg yr 曝光量设定了半衰期极限并限制了有效中微子质量。

摘要:

MAJORANA DEMONSTRATOR 最近结束了其对无中微子双贝塔衰变的搜寻。该实验运行了一个包含多达 40.4 kg 锗探测器的阵列,其中 27 kg 在同位素上富集了 76Ge,并被安置在南达科他州 Lead 的 Sanford 地下研究设施 (SURF) 内由铅和铜组成的紧凑屏蔽体中。该实验在 2039 keV 处实现了世界领先的 0.12% FWHM 能量分辨率,在 0vBB Q 值区域具有最低的本底率之一,为 15.7 +1.4 -1.3 cnts/(FWHM t y),并基于其 65 kg yr 的完整有效曝光量设定了 0vBB 半衰期极限 T_1/2 > 8.3x10^25 yrs,从而得出有效中微子质量极限 mBB < 113-269 meV。

英文摘要:

The MAJORANA DEMONSTRATOR recently concluded its search for neutrinoless double-beta decay. The experiment operated an array of up to 40.4 kg of germanium detectors, 27 kg of which were isotopically enriched in 76Ge and housed inside a compact shield consisting of lead and copper at the Sanford Underground Research Facility (SURF) in Lead, SD. The experiment achieved a world leading energy resolution of 0.12% FWHM at 2039 keV, one of the lowest background rates in the region of the 0vBB Q-value, 15.7 +1.4 -1.3 cnts/(FWHM t y), and set a 0vBB half-life limit of T_1/2 > 8.3x10^25 yrs based on its full active exposure of 65 kg yr, resulting in limits on the effective neutrino mass of mBB < 113-269 meV.
