  1. Compared sensitivities of next generation DBD experiments C. Augier presented by X. Sarazin LAL – Orsay – CNRS/IN2P3 and Université Paris-Sud XI IDEA - Zaragoza meeting – 7-8 November 2005

  2. Presentation of this work This work was realised and included in my HDR report in June 2005 (Section 4.3.7 « L’effet  des éléments de matrice nucléaire », p.332-343) Main goals of this work: 1) study the effect of the large nuclear matrix element (NME) range on the experimental sensitivities for different isotopes, in case of the exchange of a light massive Majorana neutrino in bb0n process 2) obtain a useful method to directly compare the different NME calculations in terms of bb0n period sensitivity. 3) compare the predicted sensitivities on the effective neutrino mass for GERDA, CUORE and SuperNEMO projects, using both their predicted limits of bb0n periods and this study of NME range.  For GERDA and CUORE sensitivities, use of their published expected sensitivities for the bb0n period.  Concerning SuperNEMO sensitivity, use of the preliminary calculations to give the two extremal values for the expected T1/2(0n) period. The SuperNEMO period limit obtained from actual Monte-Carlo simulations is just below the best value used in this work.

  3. 0n [ T1/2 ]-1 = G0n|M0n|2< mn >2 Presentation of this work In case of light massive Majorana neutrino exchange in bb0n, period of the process is related to the effective neutrino mass by the relation where G0n is the bb0n phase space factor calculated for all nuclei by Doi, and then Vogel (see « F. Boehm and P. Vogel, Physics of massive neutrinos, Cambridge University Press, second edition, 1992 »). It is difficult to compare directly the NME values from the different publications. In fact, one can find in these publications the NME value |M0n|, or the product of |M0n| by the phase space factor G0n Cmm, or the effective mass corresponding to a given period value… Morevoer, some of the authors use their own calculations of the phase space factor. Others omit the electron mass in their calculation and one have to reintroduce it before the comparison… 0

  4. 0n T1/2(y) = T0 (y) < mn >2 (eV) Presentation of this work Using the values obtained in different publications, the results are presented in a Table which contains the T0 values, where T0 is defined as In fact, the T0 value corresponds to an effective neutrino mass <mn> = 1eV. From this table containing the T0 values, it is useful to recalculate the effective neutrino mass (in eV) associated to any given bb0n period (in y), using the relation 0n T0 < mn >(eV) =  T1/2(y) /

  5. Choice of the NME publications and studied isotopes Two NME calculation techniques Shell model Quasi Random Phase Approximation (QRPA) and extensions Criteria used for the publication choice - reproduction of relevant nuclear properties (bb2n, b, nuclear states, ...) - publications with comparison of different isotopes - recent publications if authors explain why their new calculations are more credible Important note - ref [173] Staudt, Kuo, Klapdor-Kleingrothaus, Phys. Rev. C46 (1992) is NOT USED : it gives results only for 76Ge, 130Te and 136Xe, with the most favored NME values for 76Ge and 130Te, which provide period sensitivities around one order most favored than for other calculations.

  6. Choice of the NME publications and studied isotopes Shell model calculations Few publications, I decided to use Ref. [154] = E. Caurier, A. Gniady, F. Nowacki, « Beyond NEMO3 », Orsay, Dec. 2003,(NEMO meeting) in association with published results from the same authors + Ref. [163] =E. Caurier, G. Martinez-Pinedo, F. Nowacki, A. Poves and P. Zuber, Rev. Mod. Phys. 77 (2005) 427-488, also nucl-th/0402046 (2004) + Ref. [164] =E. Caurier, F. Nowacki, A. Poves and J. Retamosa, nucl-th/ 9601016 (1996) They give the NME values for 6 nuclei : 48Ca, 76Ge, 82Se, 124Sn, 130Te and 136Xe Arbitrary choice based on the fact that these authors calculate all parameters for a given nucleus, which are used to reproduce experimental nuclear levels with a good precision. Results are presented in the 1st line of the Table and in plots, refered as « Shell Model  »

  7. Choice of the NME publications and studied isotopes QRPA and extensions’ calculations • Ref. [155] = V.A. Rodin, A.Faessler, F. Simkovic, P. Vogel, « Systematic analysis of the uncertainty in the 0nbb decay nuclear matrix elements », nucl-th/0503063 • - recent paper (2005) from authors issued from different theoretical groups • - they give some arguments to explain their calculations ; • - they use QRPA and RQRPA (renormalized) approach, both with two different values of the vector-axial coupling constant gA = 1.0 and 1.25, that means 4 results per isotope • - they adjust the particle-particle coupling constant (gpp) value to bb2n experimental half-lives (which allow to have a slight dependance on the size of model space), with gph = 1 (particle-hole interaction fixed to Gamow-Teller resonance), using « higher-order » terms of nucleon currents • - they use their own phase space factor value, calculated with R = 1.1 A1/3 They give the NME values for 9 nuclei : 76Ge, 82Se, 96Zr, 100Mo, 116Cd, 128Te, 130Te, 136Xe and 150Nd (I do not present 128Te results) Results are presented in lines 2 to 5 of the Table QRPA 1, QRPA 1.25, RQRPA 1., RQRPA 1.25, and the two extremal values are plotted, refered as RFSV 05 – RQRPA (avec gpp de bb2n et) gA = 1 and RFSV 05 – QRPA (avec gpp de bb2n et) gA = 1.25

  16. Study of the sensitivity range for 76Ge, 82Se and 130Te The T0 value, which corresponds to an effective mass mn = 1 eV, has to be as low as possible to favor the possibility of bb0n signal observation For 76Ge : - the best sensitivity corresponds to the QRPA method with b adjustment, with T0 = 1.96 x 1024 y (Aunola, Suhonen, 1998), - the worst one corresponds to the QRPA- l method, with T0 = 1.40 x 1025 y (Stoica, Klapdor, 2001) For 82Se : - the best sensitivity corresponds to the QRPA- s method, with T0 = 2.96 x 1023 y(Stoica, Klapdor, 2001), - the worst one corresponds to the Shell-Model calculations, with T0 = 2.40 x 1024 y (Caurier, Nowacki, 1996 and 2003) For 130Te : - the best sensitivity corresponds to the QRPA- s method, with T0 = 2.63 x 1023 y(Stoica, Klapdor, 2001), - the worst one corresponds to the RQRPA method with bb2n adjustment and gA =1, with T0 = 3.60 x 1024 y (Rodin, Faessler, Simkovic, Vogel, 2005)

For82Se : - bb0nperiod between 1.2 x 1026 y and 9.6 x 1027 y  No problem for SuperNEMO with minimal value, but it could be very difficult to measure if the NME value corresponds to the maximal period. T0 values corresponding to an effective mass of 50 meV For76Ge : - bb0nperiod between 7.8 x 1026 y and 5.6 x 1027 y  Possible with GERDA phase III (T1/2 > 3 x 1027 y) with 1000 kg.y and bkg = 0.001 cts.keV-1.kg-1.y-1 (same conclusions for MAJORANA) For 130Te : -bb0n period between 1.1 x 1026 y and 1.4 x 1027 y  No problem for CUORE with minimal value ; the maximal period could be reached for bkg = 0.001 cts.keV-1.kg-1.y-1 (T1/2> 6.6 x 1026 y) or with enriched crystals (T1/2> 1.0 x 1027 y)

And wait for the good calculation
