Precise measurement of two-neutrino double beta decay (DBD) half-life is an important step for the searches of Majorana neutrinos with neutrinoless double beta decay. We report the measurement of DBD half-life of Xe using the PandaX-4T dual-phase Time Projection Chamber (TPC) with 3.7-tonne natural xenon and the first 94.9-day physics data release. The background model in the fiducial volume is well constrained in situ by events in the outer active region. With a Xe exposure of 15.5 kg-year, we establish the half-life as 2.27 ± 0.03() ± 0.10() × 10 years. This is the first DBD half-life measurement with natural xenon and demonstrates the physics capability of a large-scale liquid xenon TPC in the field of rare event searches.
精确测量双中微子双β衰变（DBD）半衰期是利用无中微子双β衰变来搜寻马约拉纳中微子的重要一步。我们报告了使用装有3.7吨天然氙的PandaX-4T双相时间投影室（TPC）对氙的DBD半衰期的测量，以及首次94.9天的物理数据发布。通过外部有源区的事例，本征体积内的本底模型在原位得到了很好的约束。在15.5千克·年的氙曝光量下，我们确定半衰期为2.27±0.03（）±0.10（）×10年。这是首次对天然氙进行DBD半衰期测量，展示了大型液氙TPC在稀有事件搜寻领域的物理能力。
