Abstract

DCBA(Drift Chamber Beta-ray Analyzer) experiment is aiming to search for neutrinoless double beta decay (0νββ). The DCBA detector is a momentum analyzer to measure individual electron energy from double beta decays. Since 0νββ is extremely rare, the detector must be low background and accommodate a lot of decays source. And also the excellent energy resolution is required at the Q-value to distinguish 0νββ from two-neutrino double beta decay (2νββ). The DCBA detector consists of drift chambers, a magnet and cosmic-ray veto counters. A test prototype DCBA-T2 has been constructed and operated with natural Mo source containing 9.6% 100Mo in order to solve operation problems. Another new prototype called DCBA-T3 is under construction at KEK. DCBA-T3 will have better performance than DCBA-T2 in view points of the energy resolution and the source accommodation volume. The results of the DCBA-T2 test operation and the DCBA-T3 status are described together with the future plan temporarily called Magnetic Tracking Detector (MTD), which is designed based on the experiences of DCBA-T2 and T3.

双衰变DCBA实验中三维跟踪探测器的研制

DCBA(Drift Chamber beta -ray Analyzer)实验旨在寻找中微子双β衰变(0νββ)。DCBA探测器是一种动量分析仪，用于测量双β衰变产生的单个电子能量。由于0νββ极为罕见，探测器必须具有低本底并能容纳大量的衰减源。在q值处，要区分0νββ和双中微子双β衰变(2νββ)，还需要优异的能量分辨率。DCBA探测器由漂移室、磁铁和宇宙射线计数器组成。为了解决运行问题，在含9.6% 100Mo的天然Mo源下，构建了DCBA-T2试验样机并进行了运行。另一种名为DCBA-T3的新原型正在KEK建造中。在能量分辨率和源容纳体积方面，dba - t3的性能优于dba - t2。介绍了dgba - t2的试验运行结果和dgba -T3的状态，以及基于dgba - t2和T3的经验设计的未来计划暂称为磁跟踪检测器(MTD)。
