Experimental Approaches to Neutrino Nuclear Responses for ββ Decays and Astro-Neutrinos

  • Research Center for Nuclear Physics, Osaka University, Osaka, Japan

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

1 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. Inverse beta decays (inverse β-decays) induced by neutrino nuclear interactions are used to study astro-neutrino nucleo-syntheses and astro-neutrino productions [13].

The ββ rate T0ν for the light Majorana-neutrino mass mode is expressed as [46].

T0ν=gA4G0ν|M0νmeff|2,B0ν=|M0ν|2,(1)

where G0ν is the phase space, B0ν is the nuclear response and meff is the effective neutrino mass. M0ν is the nuclear matrix element (NME). The axial vector weak coupling is gA=1.27 in units of the vector coupling for a free nucleon. The ββ nuclei to be considered are even-even nuclei.

Astro-neutrino (supernova- and solar-neutrinos) nuclear interaction rate Tν(i), i.e., the inverse β-decay rate, for the ith nuclear state is given as [1, 2].

Tν(i)=gA2Gν(i,Eν)Biνfν(Eν)dEν,Biν=|Miν|2(2J+1)1,(2)

where Gν(i,Eν) is the phase space volume, Biν is the nuclear response, and fν(Eν) is the neutrino flux. Biν is expressed in terms of the NME Miν and the initial state spin J.

The ββ NME M0ν and the inverse β-decay NME Miν 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]. Accurate theoretical calculations for the ββ and inverse β-decay NMEs, however, are very hard since they depend much on models and parameters used for the calculations [1, 2, 79].

Recently, nuclear and muon (lepton) charge-exchange reactions (CERs) have been shown to be used to provide experimentally single-β± NMEs associated with the ββ and astro-neutrino NMEs [13, 6]. The present report aims at critical reviews on perspectives of experimental approaches to the ββ and astro-neutrino nuclear responses by means of the nuclear and leptonic (muon) CERs and others.

We consider mainly the ground-state to ground-state (0+0+)ββ decay of XZAXZ+2A, the ground-state to the ith state astro-neutrino transition of XZAZ+1AXi and the ground-state to the ith state astro-antineutrino transition of XZ+1AXZ+2A. The ββ decay and astro-neutrino transition schemes are illustrated in Figure 1. Hereafter ββ and astro-neutrino stand for, respectively, neutrinoless ββ and astro-neutrino and astro-antineutrino unless specified. The ββ NME is expressed as [1, 2, 6].

M0ν=αgα2M0ν(α),M0ν(α)=iMi0ν(α),(3)

where α = GT, T, F stand for the Gamow-Teller, tensor and Fermi transitions and gα is the weak coupling in units of gA and Mi0ν(α) is the α mode ββ NME via the ith state in the intermediate nucleus of XZ+1A. The ββ NME Mi0ν(α) associated with the ν-exchange between two neutrons is expressed as Mi0ν(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]. Tα operators for α = GT. F and T are given, respectively, by ττσσ,ττ,andττ(σrσrσσ/3) where τ,σ are the isospin and spin operators and r is the distance between the two neutrons. Among GT, F, and T NMEs, the GT and F NMEs are dominant. Experimental measurements of the ββ NMEs are not possible unless the ββ rates and the neutrino-masses are measured, while two-neutrino ββ(2νββ) NMEs have been derived from the measured rates.

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.

2 Neutrino Nuclear Responses for ββ‐Decays and Astro-Neutrinos

So far, neutrino nuclear responses and their NMEs have been measured mainly by β± and electron capture, and thus they are limited mostly to ground-state and low-momentum GT (1+) transitions. There are several specific features of ββ and astro-neutrino nuclear responses (NMEs) to be considered [1, 2].

1. ββ and astro-neutrino NMEs involve wide ranges of momentum, spin and excitation energy [2, 6, 7]. In case of the light neutrino-mass mode ββ, the Majorana neutrino is exchanged between two nucleons with distance r in the nucleus. Then the linear and angular momenta and the excitation energy involved in ββ are around 1/r = 30–120 MeV/c, l05 and Ei = 0–30 MeV. Supernova neutrinos are in the wide energy range of 10–50 MeV, depending on the temperature. Then the energetic neutrinos may excite final states up to around 40 MeV with spin transfers of ΔJπ=0±,1±,2± and so on.

2. ββ and astro-neutrino interactions are expressed in terms of the isospin (τ) and spin (σ) operators. Thus the NMEs are necessarily very sensitive to nucleonic and non-nucleonic τ and τσ interactions and correlations. Nuclear τ and τσ interactions are repulsive in nature, and thus most τ and τσ strengths are pushed up to the τ and τσ-type giant resonances in the high excitation region, leaving little strengths in the low-lying quasi-particle states involved in the DBDs and astro-neutrinos [13].

3. The τ and τσ interactions and correlations are associated with both the nucleons (protons and neutrons) and non-nucleonic hadrons (mesons, Δ-baryons). The ββ and astro-neutrino NMEs are sensitive to nuclear medium changes from the initial to final states, resulting in the reduction of the NMEs.

4. Axial-vector NMEs for nuclear βγ transitions are quenched with respect to the NMEs calculated by the proton-neutron quasi-particle random-phase approximation, which includes nucleonic τσ interactions and correlations but not explicitly the non-nucleonic correlations and nuclear medium effects [1, 2, 10, 11]. Such quenching effect is incorporated by using the effective axial-vector coupling gAeff=kgA, where gA=1.27 is the coupling for a free nucleon and k is the quenching coefficient [13].

5. Accurate theoretical calculations for the ββ and astro-neutrino NMEs are very hard since the medium heavy nuclei involved in the NMEs are very complex many-body strongly interacting hadron (nucleon, meson, Δ-baryon, and others) systems [2, 7, 8]. Then the NMEs are very sensitive to all kinds of nucleonic, non-nucleonic and nuclear medium effects. Furthermore, the NMEs themselves are only a very tiny (10−2–10−3) fraction of the total strength. Actually, theoretical ββ NMEs scatter over an order of magnitude depending on the models and the parameters such as gAeff and nuclear interactions [2, 6].

3 Experimental Approaches to ββ and Astro-Neutrino Responses

The ββ and astro-neutrino NMEs have recently been studied by using nuclear and muon CERs as given in the reviews and references there in [1, 2]. Here we discuss mainly the single β NME Mi(α) for XZAXZ+1A and single β+NME Mi+(α) for XZ+1AXZ+2A (see Figure 1). They are the τ and τ+-side NMEs, which the ββ NME for the ith intermediate state is associated with through the neutrino potential, and are the NMEs relevant to the astro-neutrino and astro-antineutrino reactions for the ith state in XZ+1A, respectively. The Mi(GT) and Mi+(GT) for low-lying quasi-particle states have been used to evaluate the 2νββ NMEs, and the evaluated NMEs agree with the NMEs derived from the observed 2νββ rates [12].

Medium energy (3He,t) reactions with E(3He) = 0.42 GeV at Research Center for Nuclear Physics (RCNP) are shown to be powerful for studying τ-side τσ responses in the wide momentum (0–120 MeV/c) and excitation energy (0–30 MeV) regions [1, 2]. The axial-vector α=GT(1+) and α=SD (spin dipole 2) NMEs in nuclei of ββ and astro-neutrino interests are measured [1, 2, 1317]. The measured spectrum for 76Ge [13] is shown in Figure 2. GT NMEs are the NMEs involved mainly in the 2νββ decays and the low-energy astro-neutrinos, while SD NMEs are major components associated with the neutrinoless DBDs and medium energy astro-neutrinos [2].

FIGURE 2. CER strengths as a function of the excitation energy. Top: The 76Ge(3He,t)76As reaction for ββ responses, where the GT s-wave strengths (red lines) are preferentially excited at the forward angles, while SD p-wave strengths (blue lines) at larger angles [13]. Bottom left-panel: The 71Ga(3He,t) 71Ge reaction for solar neutrino responses [14]. Bottom right-panel: The M100o(μ,νμ) Nb reactions [20]. The strong GT and SD giant resonances, GTR and SDR, at around 12 and 20 MeV are seen in the spectrum of 76Ge(3He,t)76 As.

The measured GT and SD NMEs are quenched by the coefficient k=gAeff/gA0.40.6 with respect to the NMEs by the quasi-particle random-phase approximation [1, 2, 11]. The measured GT and SD responses (square of NME) for low excitation region are only a few % of the total strength and most of them are located at the highly excited giant resonances, as shown in Figure 2. The giant resonances are coherent τσ excitations with the large NMEs. They mix in the low-lying GT and SD states with the negative (out-phase) mixing coefficient via the repulsive interaction. Thus the GT and SD NMEs for the low-lying states are quenched by the mixing effect of the high-lying GT and SD giant resonances, respectively.

Ordinary muon capture (OMC) [18] is a muon charge-exchange reaction (μ-CER). It is used for studying the Mi+(α) NMEs [2]. A negative muon trapped in an inner atomic orbit is captured into the nucleus. The process is a lepton CER of μ+Z+2AXνμ+Z+1AXi. The momentum and energy transferred to the nucleus are around 95–50 MeV/c and 5–50 MeV, which are the regions of DBDs and astro-neutrinos.

μ-CERs on Mo isotpes [19] and ββ nuclei have been studied by using low-momentum muons from the MuSIC beam line at RCNP [2, 20]. The ith excited state of XiZ+1A produced by the μ-CER on XZ+2A decays by emitting a number (x) of neutrons and gamma rays to the ground state of XZ+1Ax. The number x depends on the excitation energy Ei. The residual nuclei are identified by measuring γ rays characteristic of them. Then the μ-CER strength distribution in XZ+1A as a function of the excitation energy Ei is obtained from the measured mass-number (Ax) distribution by using the neutron cascade-emission model [20]. The μ-CER strength distribution for 100Mo [20] show a strong μ-giant resonance around Ei12MeV, as shown in Figure 2. Since μ-CER excites mainly states with Jπ=0±,1±,2±,and3±, the giant resonance is a composite of the resonances with these spins. The observed strength distribution agrees with the calculation using the quasi-particle random-phase approximation [21]. The muon-capture rate is smaller by a factor around 5 with respect to the calculated rate, suggesting the quenching coefficient of gAeff/gA0.5 [21].

4 Perspectives and Remarks on Neutrino Nuclear Responses

The high energy-resolution (3He,t) CERs at RCNP are well used for studying the τ-side Mi(α) NMEs with α=GT(1+) and SD (2) in the wide momentum and energy regions involved in ββ-decays and astro-neutrinos. They are extended to higher-multipole NMEs Mi(α) with α=SQ (spin quadra-pole 3+) and SO (spin octa-pole 4). The τ+-side NMEs of Mi+(α) are studied by using (d,2He) [22] and (t,3He) CERs [1]. Higher energy-resolution studies of unbound 2He from the (d,2He) CER is interesting to study the τ+-side NMEs for individual states.

The axial-vextor (GT, SD, and higher multi-pole) strength distributions in the wide excitation region are interesting to see how the axial vector NMEs at the low lying quasi-particle states are quenched due to the destructive interference with the high-lying giant resonances, and how the summed strengths over the giant resonances are somewhat reduced by the possible effects of the Δ baryons [2, 11].

Double charge-exchange reactions explore double τ and τσ responses for ββ responses [2, 3, 23]. The RCNP (11B, 11Li) data indicate a large strength at the high excitation region and little one at the low-lying states. Extensive studies of double charge-exchange reactions are under progress at INFN-LNS [23].

μ-CERs are used to study the NME Mi+(α) in wide momentum and energy regions relevant to ββ-decays and astro-neutrinos. The observed μ giant resonance around Ei12MeV suggests concentration of the τ+-strengths at the highly excited giant resonance, resulting in the quenching of the NMEs at low-lying states, as in case of the τ-side responses. In fact, the absolute μ-CER strength is much smaller than the calculated one [21, 24], suggesting the severe quenching as in case of τ responses. The recent calculations, however, reproduce the observed rates with the bare gA [25]. The two calculations are based on the quasi-particle random-phase approximation, but use different nuclear parameters. Thus the calculated strength distributions and the calculated multipole components are different between the two calculations. So the origins of the differences are open questions. Actually, the μ-CER rate is a product of the phase space factor and the neutrino nuclear response (square of the NME). It is important to compare the experimental μ-CER NME with the theoretical NME to see if one needs a quenched gAeff as in case of the NMEs studied in single β±. Further experimental and theoretical studies of the μ-CERs for nuclei of ββ and astro-neutrino interests are interesting to investigate the NMEs Mi+(α) up to around 50 MeV.

Medium-energy neutrinos are of potential interest for direct measurements of neutrino nuclear responses [26]. High-intensity medium-energy (1–3 GeV) proton accelerators at SNS ORNL and MLF KEK and others are used to produce intense pions, and neutrinos of the order of 1015/sec are obtained from the πμ decays. Neutrino and anti-neutrino CERs of ν(ν¯)e(e+) are used to study (Mi+(α)) NMEs. Neutrino nuclear cross-sections are of the order of 10−40 cm2. Then one may use multi-ton scale isotopes as used for ββ experiments to study neutrino nuclear responses.

Electro-magnetic interaction includes isovector and isoscalar components. They are analogous to the charged and neutral current responses of the neutrino (weak) interaction, respectively. Thus one gets information of the neutrino NME by studying the isovector component of the EM transition [2, 9]. The special case is the photo-nuclear excitation of the isobaric analogue state of T|i> with T being the isosin lowering operator [1, 2, 27]. The NME for the weak transition of |i>|f> is obtained from the analogous EM NME for the γ transition from the isobaric analogue state to |f> [2].

Nucleon transfer reactions are used to measure single quasi-particle occupation probabilities. The summed probability is quenched by 0.5–0.6 with respect to the nucleon-based model value [28]. This suggests some non-nucleonic and nuclear medium effects as in the neutrino responses [2].
