Random coincidence of 2ν2β decay events as a background source in bolometric 0ν2β decay experiments
read the original abstract
Two neutrino double $\beta$ decay can create irremovable background even in high energy resolution detectors searching for neutrinoless double $\beta$ decay due to random coincidence of $2\nu2\beta$ events in case of poor time resolution. Possibilities to suppress this background in cryogenic scintillating bolometers are discussed. It is shown that the present bolometric detector technologies enable to control this form of background at the level required to explore the inverted hierarchy of the neutrino mass pattern, including the case of bolometers searching for the neutrinoless double $\beta$ decay of $^{100}$Mo, which is characterized by a relatively short two neutrino double $\beta$ decay half-life.
