Projected sensitivity of the LUX-ZEPLIN experiment to the 0 nu beta beta decay of Xe-136
PHYSICAL REVIEW C(2020)
摘要
The LUX-ZEPLIN (LZ) experiment will enable a neutrinoless double beta decay search in parallel to the main science goal of discovering dark matter particle interactions. We report the expected LZ sensitivity to Xe-136 neutrinoless double beta decay, taking advantage of the significant (>600 kg) Xe-136 mass contained within the active volume of LZ without isotopic enrichment. After 1000 live-days, the median exclusion sensitivity to the half-life of Xe-136 is projected to be 1.06 x 10(26) years (90% confidence level), similar to existing constraints. We also report the expected sensitivity of a possible subsequent dedicated exposure using 90% enrichment with Xe-136 at 1.06 x 10(27) years.
