abstract

We present results from the first phase of the KamLAND-Zen double-beta decay experiment, corresponding to an exposure of 89.5 kg yr of Xe-136. We obtain a lower limit for the neutrinoless double-beta decay half-life of T_{1/2}^{0{\nu}} > 1.9 x 10^{25} yr at 90% C.L. The combined results from KamLAND-Zen and EXO-200 give T_{1/2}^{0{\nu}} > 3.4 x 10^{25} yr at 90% C.L., which corresponds to a Majorana neutrino mass limit of <m_{{\beta}{\beta}}> < (120-250) meV based on a representative range of available matrix element calculations. Using those calculations, this result excludes the Majorana neutrino mass range expected from the neutrinoless double-beta decay detection claim in Ge-76, reported by a part of the Heidelberg-Moscow Collaboration, at more than 97.5% C.L.

  • Natural neutrino sector in a 331-model with Froggatt-Nielsen mechanism hep-ph · 2019-08-25 · conditional · none · ref 43 · internal anchor

    Adding right-handed neutrinos to the Froggatt-Nielsen 331 model realizes a double seesaw with sub-eV active neutrinos, keV sterile neutrinos, and TeV-scale heavy neutrinos that fits oscillation data in three benchmark points.
