AbstraktAbstract
We present a new measurement of the 2v/3/3 half-life of 130Te (T2v 1=2) using the first complete model of the CUORE data, based on 1038 kg yr of collected exposure. Thanks to optimized data selection, we achieve a factor of two improvement in precision, obtaining T2v 1=2 1/4 (9.32 & thorn;0.05-0.04stat & thorn;0.07-0.07syst) x 1020 yr. The signal-to-background ratio is increased by 70% compared to our previous results, enabling the first application of the improved 2v/3/3 formalism to 130Te. Within this framework, we determine a credibility interval for the effective axial coupling in the nuclear medium as a function of nuclear matrix elements. We also extract values for the higher-order nuclear matrix element ratios: second-to-first and third-to-first. The second-to-first ratio agrees with nuclear model predictions, while the third-to-first ratio deviates from theoretical expectations. These findings provide essential tests of nuclear models and key inputs for future 0v/3/3 searches.
