4 Double beta decay (A,Z) (A,Z+2) +2 e - + 2ν e (A,Z) (A,Z+2) + 2 e - - 2νββ 0νββ Unique process to measure the mass of the neutrino Unque process to measure character of neutrino Requires half-life measurements well beyond yrs!!!! The smaller neutrino mass the longer is half-life
5 Example - Ge76 There are only 35 candidates

14 Heidelberg -Moscow Part of collaboration: T 1/2 = 2.23 ± 0.4 x yr m = 0.32 ± 0.03 ev H.V. Klapdor-Kleingrothaus et al., Phys. Lett. B 586, 198 (2004), Mod.Phys.Lett.A21: ,2006
15 Running experiments CUORICINO: cryogenic bolometers 40.7 kg TeO 2 DBD Q-value T m 1/2 > 3.0 x yr (90% CL) ν < ev C. Arnaboldi et al, hep-ex/ NEMO-3: TPC Future: CUORE 760 kg TeO 2 approved 10 kg enriched foils, 6 kg 100 Mo T 1/2 > 5.8 x yr (90% CL) m ν < ev A. Barabash, hep-ex/ Idea: Super-NEMO ( kg)
16 Current aims of double beta searches Check whether observed peak claimed in 76 Ge is true If yes, observe it with at least one other isotope to confirm that it is double beta decay If not, next milestone will be 50 mev suggested by oscillation results If still no observation, down to range 1-10 mev Remember: m ν ΔEB 4 Mt

45 Summary Double beta decay is the gold plated channel to probe the fundamental character of neutrinos Near term experimental goals are driven by the Klapdor claim of a peak in Ge-76 To go below 50 mev requires hundreds of kilograms of enriched material, lot of ideas... Renewed interest in double EC and beta+ modes (resonance enhancement if there degenerate states? However, little information on that in the literature, Example questions: What is the signal of 0ν EC/EC? What is the positron energy spectrum in 2νβ + /EC...
