Abstract

Fundamental properties of neutrinos are investigated by studying double beta decays (ββ-decays), while atro-neutrino nucleo-syntheses and astro-neutrino productions are investigated by studying inverse beta decays (inverse β-decays) induced by astro-neutrinos. Neutrino nuclear responses for these ββ and β-decays are crucial for these neutrino studies in nuclei. This reports briefly perspectives on experimental studies of neutrino nuclear responses (square of nuclear matrix element) for ββ-decays and astro-neutrinos by using nuclear and leptonic (muon) charge-exchange reactions

Highlights

  • Fundamental properties of neutrinos are investigated by studying double beta decays, while atro-neutrino nucleo-syntheses and astro-neutrino productions are investigated by studying inverse beta decays induced by astroneutrinos

  • Fundamental properties of neutrinos such as the Majorana nature and the neutrino masses, which are beyond the standard electro-weak model, are well investigated by studying neutrinoless double beta decays in nuclei

  • The ββ nuclear matrix element (NME) M0] and the inverse β-decay NME Mi] are crucial for extracting the effective neutrino-mass of the particle physic interest and the neutrino flux of the astro-physics interest from the experimental ββ rate and the inverse β-decay rate, respectively. They are important to design the ββ and astro-neutrino detectors since the nuclear isotopes used in ββ and astro-neutrino detectors depend on their NMEs [2, 3]

Summary

NEUTRINOLESS ββ-DECAYS AND ASTRO-NEUTRINO NUCLEAR INTERACTIONS

Fundamental properties of neutrinos such as the Majorana nature and the neutrino masses, which are beyond the standard electro-weak model, are well investigated by studying neutrinoless double beta decays (ββ-decays) in nuclei. The ββ NME M0] and the inverse β-decay NME Mi] are crucial for extracting the effective neutrino-mass of the particle physic interest and the neutrino flux of the astro-physics interest from the experimental ββ rate and the inverse β-decay rate, respectively. They are important to design the ββ and astro-neutrino detectors since the nuclear isotopes used in ββ and astro-neutrino detectors depend on their NMEs [2, 3]. ]-exchange between two neutrons is expressed as Mi0](α) < Tαhi(α) > i with Tα and hi(α) being the α mode transition operator and the neutrino potential for the ββ decay via the ith intermediate state [2, 4, 6, 7]. The transition modes include the allowed F transition, the allowed GT transition, the first-forbidden unique transition, the first forbidden non-unique transition, and so on
