SUMMARY:INPA Seminar Speaker: Larisa Throne (JGU Mainz)-Title: The Role of Atomic Tritium in Future Neutrino Mass Experiments
DESCRIPTION:Date: February 21\, 2025 \nTime: 12:00 am – 1:00 pm \nLocation: Sessler Conference Room – 50A-5132 [Hybrid and In-Person] \nSpeaker: Larisa Throne (JGU Mainz) \nTitle: The Role of Atomic Tritium in Future Neutrino Mass Experiments \nAbstract: Nearly 70 years since the neutrino was discovered and 25 years since the discovery of neutrino oscillations established its non-zero mass\, the absolute neutrino-mass scale remains unknown. Tritium beta decay endpoint measurements currently offer the best upper limit on the neutrino mass. A next-generation experiment with greater sensitivity must overcome one of the major systematics for this kind of measurement: the molecular nature of the beta decay source. Current and past tritium beta decay experiments use a molecular tritium source in which one of the tritium atoms undergoes decay. A fraction of the decay energy excites the molecule into rotational\, vibrational\, or electronic excited states; this causes broadening in the molecule’s final state distribution (FSD)\, and has a smearing effect on the beta decay spectrum. In order to achieve a reduced systematic uncertainty due to this FSD smearing\, next-generation experiments must switch to an atomic tritium source.\nI will present an overview of the necessary steps to develop an atomic tritium source through the lens of the Project 8 experiment. This multi-institution development program includes dissociation of molecular tritium\, cooling the resulting tritium atoms via a two-step process down to 10mK\, and trapping them magnetically. In addition to this overview\, I will focus on the multitude of tritium-compatible diagnostic tools being developed at JGU Mainz to measure atom flux\, atom beam shape\, and temperature. \nJoin Zoom Meeting\nhttps://lbnl.zoom.us/j/95016696011?pwd=Tk1XOW1Xd3RYRnlsc2tEYmRWZlVVZz09 \nMeeting ID: 950 1669 6011 \nPasscode: 247722

SUMMARY:INPA Seminar Speaker: Krystal Alfonso (Virginia Tech)-Title: With or without ν? Probing double beta decay with CUORE
DESCRIPTION:Date: February 28\, 2025 \nTime: 12:00 am – 1:00 pm \nLocation: Sessler Conference Room – 50A-5132 [Hybrid and In-Person] \nSpeaker: Krystal Alfonso (Virginia Tech)  \nTitle: With or without ν? Probing double beta decay with CUORE \nAbstract: The massive neutrino is our rabbit in a waistcoat. Prompted by the discovery of neutrino oscillations\, our community has taken a keen interest in answering how neutrinos with mass affect our understanding of the Universe. One approach to probing the elusive neutrino is to search for neutrinoless double beta decay—a lepton number violating process that would confirm the Majorana nature of the neutrino and possibly constrain the absolute neutrino-mass scale. In this presentation\, I will focus on the search for neutrinoless double beta decay of 130Te with CUORE\, a tonne-scale cryogenic calorimeter operated at milli-kelvin temperatures. Recently\, the experiment has demonstrated over 5 years stable operation. I will describe this achievement in the context of the CUORE analysis framework and the latest results using over 2 tonne.yr TeO2 exposure. \nJoin Zoom Meeting\nhttps://lbnl.zoom.us/j/95016696011?pwd=Tk1XOW1Xd3RYRnlsc2tEYmRWZlVVZz09 \nMeeting ID: 950 1669 6011 \nPasscode: 247722
