Spectroscopy of Double-Beta and Inverse Beta Decays from 100Mo

  • 20 November 1999
Abstract
Spectroscopic studies of two beta-rays from 100Mo are shown to be of potential interest for investigating both the Majorana neutrino mass by neutrinoless double beta-decay and low energy solar neutrino's by inverse beta-decay. With a multi-ton 100Mo detector, coincidence studies of correlated beta-beta from neutrinoless double beta-decay, together with the large Q value, permit identification of the neutrino-mass term with a sensitivity of ~ 0.03 eV. Delayed coincidence studies of the inverse beta and the successive beta-decay of the short-lived 100Tc, together with the low threshold energy and the large measured GT strengths for the inverse beta-decay, make it possible to detect in realtime individual low energy solar neutrino in the same detector.
