Hypothesized particles, non-standard interactions, or the violation of fundamental symmetries would affect the decay kinematics, creating detectable and characteristic experimental signatures. In particular, the energy distribution of the electrons emitted in the decay gives an insight into the decay mechanism and has been studied in several isotopes and experiments. No deviations from the prediction of the standard model have been reported yet. However, several new experiments are underway or in preparation and will soon increase the sensitivity of these beyond-the-standard-model physics searches, exploring uncharted parts of the parameter space. This review brings together phenomenological and experimental aspects related to new-physics searches in double-beta decay experiments, focusing on the testable models, the most-sensitive detection techniques, and the discovery opportunities of this field.","PeriodicalId":16766,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Physics G: Nuclear and Particle Physics","volume":"4 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.5,"publicationDate":"2023-12-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139093733","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

For a given nucleus, the Es.p.(β) of different deformations exhibits distinct changes. In this paper, we investigate the influences of the Es.p.(β) of distinct deformations on (e, e′) process. Using the plane-wave impulse approximation method, we calculate the (e, e′) cross sections of different deformed configurations. The corresponding Es.p.(β) and NMDs are obtained from the deformed relativistic mean-field model. It is found that the theoretical (e, e′) cross sections show moderate dependence on the Es.p.(β) of distinct deformations. This is due to the conservation of energy, which restricts the number of nucleons participating in the (e, e′) process of diverse deformed configurations.
