3 OUTLINE Some particle physics aspects (neutrino mass mech. of the 0νββ-decay) Some nuclear physics aspects (0νββ-decay NME s) Some atomic physics aspects (double electron capture) Something exotic (bosonic neutrino) 6/27/2007 Fedor Simkovic 3

4 Some particle physics aspects 6/27/2007 Fedor Simkovic 4

5 Neutrino properties (60 years after discovery of ν) we know 3 families of light (V-A) neutrinos: ν e, ν µ, ν τ neutrinos are massive: we know mass squared differences relation between flavor eigenstates and mass eigenstates (neutrino mixing) only partially known we do not know Absolute ν mass scale? (cosmolology, 0νββ-decay, 3 H, 187 Rh) Are ν their own antiparticle? (Majorana ν) or not (Dirac ν) Is there a CP violation in the neutrino sector? (leptogenesis) Are neutrinos stable? What is the magnetic moment of ν??? 6/27/2007 Fedor Simkovic 5

6 Observation of ν oscillations changed the world (of physics) Solar neutrinos Reactor neutrinos 1968 Atmospheric neutrinos 1957 Accelerator neutrinos 1998 SuperKamiokande 6/27/2007 Fedor Simkovic 6

9 Pontecorvo-Maki-Nakagawa-Sakata matrix Quark mixing Neutrino mixing Large off diagonal elements!! Instruction for an extension of SM? Disperity and challange for quark-lepton unified theories 6/27/2007 Fedor Simkovic 9

10 Neutrinos mass spectrum We need 3mass-eigenstates to explain 2 different m 2: : m 2 2 m 12 = m 2 sol ~ ev 2 : m 3 2 m 22 = m 2 atm ~ ev 2 Absolute mass scale of neutrinos 0νββ-decay Tritium decay Cosmology 6/27/2007 Fedor Simkovic 10

11 Mass spectrum and mixing Questions to the mass spectrum: Absolute mass scale Type of the mass hierarchy: Normal, Inverted U e3 =? We know only that it is smaller than other angles Some mysteries: Tiny masses Large mixing angles θ 13 =0 and θ 13 =45 0 means ν µ ν τ symmetry Dirac or Majorana?

12 Quark-Lepton Complementarity QLC- relations: H. Minakata, A.S. Phys. Rev. D70: (2004) [hep-ph/ ] θ l 12 + θ q 12 π/4 θ l 23 + θ q 23 π/4 θ 12 + θ C = 46.5 o +/- 1.3 o θ 23 + V cb = 43.9 o + 5.1/-3.6 o Qualitatively correlation: 2-3 leptonic mixing is close to maximal because 2-3 quark mixing is small 1-2 leptonic mixing deviates from maximal substantially because 1-2 quark mixing is relatively large 6/27/2007 Fedor Simkovic 12

13 θ 13 0 : How Big or How Small? Convincing flavor theory has been lacking it is at present impossible to predict fermion masses, flavor mixing angles and CP phases on Bi-maximal mixing fundamental level the flavor problem θ 13 has a role! U bm bm 23m m = U 23m U 12 m 12 As dominant structure? Zero order? Bi-maximal mixing maximal 2-3 mixing zero 1-3 mixing maximal 1-2 mixing no CP-violation Contradicts data at (5-6)s level 6/27/2007 Fedor Simkovic 13

26 2νββ-decay Nuclear Matrix Elements Deduced from measured T 1/2 2ν difference: by factor ~ 10 6/27/2007 Fedor Simkovic 26

27 0νββ decay Nuclear Matrix Elements Nuclear Matrix Elements Shell model QRPA NME s: which mechanism, which transition? It is a complex task Medium and heavy open shell nuclei with a complicated nuclear structure The construction of complete set of the states of the intermediate nucleus is needed Many-body problem approximations needed Nuclear structure input has to be fixed 6/27/2007 Fedor Simkovic 27

28 Nuclear structure approaches H Ψ = Ε Ψ We can not solve the full problem in the complete Systematical study of the 0νββ-decay NME Projected mean field (Vampir) Tomoda, Faessler, Schmid, Grummer, PLB 157, 4 (1985) Shell model: Haxton, Stephensson, Prog. Part. Nucl. Phys. 12, 409(1984) Caurier, Nowacki, Poves, Retamosa, PRL 77, 1954 (1996) E. Caurier, E. Martinez-Pinedo, F. Nowacki, A. Poves, A. Zuker, Rev. Mod. Phys. 77, 427 (2005). QRPA, RQRPA: About 10 papers Other approaches: Shell Model Monte Carlo (1996), Operator Expansion Method ( )... 6/27/2007 Fedor Simkovic 28

29 Uncertainties in 0νββ decay NME? Bahcall, Murayama, Pena-Garay, Phys. Rev. D 70, (2004) Please no! Do not put different NME calculations at the same level (democratic approach) This suggest an uncertainty of NME as much as factor 5! Civitarese, Suhonen, NPA 729, 867 (2003) Is it really so bad?! 6/27/2007 Fedor Simkovic 29

30 Shell Model Define a valence space Derive an effective interaction H Ψ = Ε Ψ H eff Ψ eff = E Ψ eff Build and diagonalize Hamiltonian matrix (10 10 ) Transition operator < Ψ eff O eff Ψ eff > Some phenomenological input needed energy of states, systematics of B(E2) and GT transitions (quenching f.) 48 Ca 48 Ti 76 Ge 76 Se Small calculations 76 Se 42 in the valence 6 protons and 14 neutrons 6/27/2007 Fedor Simkovic 30

33 The 0νββ-decay NME: g pp fixed to 2νββ-decay Each point: (3 basis sets) x (3 forces) = 9 values By adjusting of g pp to 2νββ-decay half-life the dependence of the 0νββ-decay NME on other things that are not a priori fixed is essentially removed Rodin, Faessler, Šimkovic,Vogel, Phys. Rev. C 68, (2003) 6/27/2007 Fedor Simkovic 33

35 Code error found in the treatment of s.r.c. Main conclusions remain unchanged 6/27/2007 Fedor Simkovic 35

36 Φιξινγ οφ γ ππ It is not possible to describe simultaneously both β + /EC and β decays: move with g pp in opposite directions only one free parameter and two physical quantities the role of overlap factor ignored g A =1.25 (A,Z) (A,Z+1) (A,Z+1) (A,Z+2) But the lowest 1 + state is not the only responsible for double beta decay 6/27/2007 Fedor Simkovic 36

38 Two-nucleon short range correlations: 6/27/2007 Fedor Simkovic 38

39 0νββ-decay NME with UCOM s.r.c. Korteleinen, Civitarese, Suhonen, Toivanen, nucl-th/ Feldmeier et al.: UCOM corelations introduce correlations by means of a unitary transformation with respect to the relative coordinate of all pairs UCOM correlations: determined by two-body energy minimization V UCOM and V bare are phase shift equivalent 6/27/2007 Fedor Simkovic 39

40 Comparison of UCOM and Spencer-Miller (Jastrow) s.r.c. UCOM 6/27/2007 Fedor Simkovic 40

41 Two-body correlated wave function Numerical solution of Bethe-Goldstone equation H. Muether et al. Collaboration with A. Faessler (Tuebingen) 6/27/2007 Fedor Simkovic 41

42 Finite nucleon size (formfactors) versus short range correlations. Neutrino potential: I(r)/r 6/27/2007 Fedor Simkovic 42

43 Finite nucleon size (formfactor) do thesamejobass.r.c.!! 6/27/2007 Fedor Simkovic 43

44 Our results: Code improved and corrected Jyvaskyla group: Changed of the formalism to our (new code), but no tensor term Spencer-Miller s.r.c NME up 50% Given for r 0 =1.1 fm! 10 level model space, g pp =1.00 6/27/2007 Fedor Simkovic 44

45 Is there a convergence of QRPA-like results? We hope that everbody agrees that one can not put all calculated 0νββ-decay NME s at the same level There is no factor 5! Which formalism? Quark model approach of Khadkikhar Jyvaskyla group [NPA 643, 207 (1998); NPA 729, 867 (2003)...] s.r.c. not considered, formfactor cutoff unknown, M 0ν = 3.33 (3.05 for r 0 =1.1 fm) Our approach based on formfactors and inclusion of higher order of nucleon current without s.r.c. and h.o.t. nucleon current M 0ν = 7.16 (6.57 for r 0 =1.1 fm) Strong contradiction! factor > 2! Which s.r.c.? Spencer-Miller (Jastrow function), Co Jastrow-like, UCOM, or something else? 6/27/2007 Fedor Simkovic 45

46 Nuclear deformation? Exp. I (nuclear reorientation method) Exp.II (based on measured E2 trans.) Theor. I (Rel. mean field theory) Theor. II (Microsc.-Macrosc. Model of Moeller and Nix) Till now, in the QRPA-like calculations of the 0νββ-decay NME spherical symetry was assumed The effect of deformation on NME has to be considered 6/27/2007 Fedor Simkovic 46

59 Outlook Elliott, Vogel The 0νββ decay will be observed (up to 2020) Neutrino is Majorana particle (Schechter- Valle theorem) The dominant mechanism has to be determined, i.e., further study (differential characteristics, trans. to excited states, related phenomenology, NME, GUT models) The 0νββ decay will be not observed (up to 2020) Inverted hierarchy of neutrino masses excluded Stronger constraints on GUT, A challenge for next generation? If mass spectrum already determined Dirac neutrino (why small mass?) Schechter-Valle 6/27/2007 Fedor Simkovic 59

60 What is the nature of neutrinos? theory Only the 0νββ-decay can answer this fundamental question By product: Absolute ν mass scale CP Majorana phases 6/27/2007 Fedor Simkovic 60
