    A New Measurement of the Partial 0+->0+ Half Life of 10C with GAMMASPHERE
    with B. K. Fujikawa, S. J. Asztalos, R. M. Clark, M. -A. Deleplanque-Stephens, P. Fallon, Lee I. -Y., L. J. Lising, A. O. Macchiavelli, R. W. MacLeod, J. C. Reich, M. A. Rowe, S. -Q. Shang, F. S. Stephens, E. G. Wasserman, and J. P. Greene
    We report on a new measurement of the strength of the superallowed 0+->0+ transition in the beta-decay of 10C: 10C->10B+e+nu. The experiment was done at the LBNL 88-inch cyclotron using forty seven GAMMASPHERE germanium detectors. Precise knowledge of this branching ratio is necessary to compute the superallowed Fermi ft, which gives the weak vector coupling constant and the u to d element of the Cabibbo-Kobayashi- Maskawa quark mixing matrix.

    © 2015 American Physical Society.We report a measurement of the neutrino-electron elastic scattering rate of 862 keV Be7 solar neutrinos based on a 165.4 kt d exposure of KamLAND. The observed rate is 582±94-1, which corresponds to an 862-keV Be7 solar neutrino flux of ×109cm-2s-1, assuming a pure electron-flavor flux. Comparing this flux with the standard solar model prediction and further assuming three-flavor mixing, a νe survival probability of 0.66±0.15 is determined from the KamLAND data. …Read more

    © 2016 IOP Publishing Ltd and Sissa Medialab srl.The CUORE experiment will search for neutrinoless double-beta decay of 130Te with an array of 988 TeO2 bolometers arranged in 19 towers. CUORE-0, the first tower assembled according to the CUORE procedures, was built and commissioned at Laboratori Nazionali del Gran Sasso, and took data from March 2013 to March 2015. In this paper we describe the design, construction and operation of the CUORE-0 experiment, with an emphasis on the improvements mad…Read more
