Bound-state β-decay of bare 205Tl81+ — •Bingshui Gao for the FRS-ESR collaboration — GSI, Helmholtzzentrum für Schwerionenforschung, Planckstr. 1, D-64291 Darmstadt, Germany

Beta decay into bound electron states of the daughter atom (βb), accompanied by the emission of a monochromatic antineutrino, has been predicted by Daudel et al. However, a noteworthy probability of βb-decay exists only for highly-charged ions and the experimental storage ring ESR at GSI is a unique tool for investigating βb-decays. A forthcoming experiment is the determination of the half-life of βb-decay of bare 205Tl81+, which is related to both the solar pp-neutrino flux and the s-process nucleosynthesis. On the one hand, the LOREX project addresses the relative amount of 205Tl and 205Pb atoms in deep-lying thallium-rich minerals. There 205Pb atoms are generated by the capture of solar pp-neutrinos, with an unprecedented small threshold of only 52 keV. The ratio of 205Pb/205Tl renders the product of the mean pp-solar neutrino flux <φνe> and the neutrino capture cross section σνe. The latter can only be obtained by measuring the half-life of βb-decay of bare 205Tl81+ because νe-capture andβb-decay share the same nuclear matrix element. On the other hand, 205Pb is the only purely s-process short-lived radioactivity which gives insight in nucleosynthesis just prior to Sun’s birth. It has been demonstrated that in the stellar environment the production rate of 205Pb in the s-process sensitively depends on both free electron capture of 205Pb and βb-decay of bare and H-like 205Tl. It is thus desirable to measure the half-life of the βb-decay of 205Tl81+.
