The NUMEN project: NUclear Matrix Elements for Neutrinoless double beta decay

Francesco Cappuzzello, +90 more
TL;DR: The NUMEN project as mentioned in this paper proposes an innovative technique to access the nuclear matrix elements entering the expression of the lifetime of the double beta decay by cross section measurements of heavy-ion induced Double Charge Exchange (DCE) reactions.
Journal ArticleDOI

Measurement of total reaction cross sections of exotic neutron-rich nuclei.

TL;DR: Total reaction cross sections of neutron-rich nuclei from C to Mg in a thick Si target have been measured by the detection of the associatedgamma rays in a 4..pi.. geometry, indicating an increase of as much as 15% of the reduced strong absorption radius with respect to stable nuclei.
Journal ArticleDOI

The NUMEN project: NUclear Matrix Elements for Neutrinoless double beta decay

TL;DR: The main achievements of the NUMEN project together with an updated and detailed overview of the related R&D activities and theoretical developments are described in this paper, where an innovative technique to access the nuclear matrix elements entering the expression of the lifetime of the double beta decay by cross section measurements of heavy-ion induced Double Charge Exchange (DCE) reactions is proposed.
Journal ArticleDOI

New mass measurements of neutron-rich nuclei near N= 20

TL;DR: The masses of 39 neutron-rich nuclei in the mass range 17-37 have been measured using a direct time-of-flight technique following the fragmentation of a 48 Ca beam at 55 MeV/nucleon.
Journal ArticleDOI

Heavy-ion double charge exchange reactions: A tool toward $0 \nu\beta\beta$ nuclear matrix elements

TL;DR: In this paper, an innovative technique to extract information on the nuclear matrix elements by measuring the cross section of a double charge exchange nuclear reaction is proposed, where the basic point is that the initial and final state wave functions in the two processes are the same and the transition operators are similar.
