Double beta decay of 100Mo to the excited states of daughter nuclei has been studied using a 600 cm3 low-background HPGe detector and an external source consisting of 2588 g of 97.5% enriched metallic 100Mo, which was formerly inside the NEMO-3 detector and used for the NEMO-3 measurements of 100Mo. The half-life for the two-neutrino double beta decay of 100Mo to the excited View the MathML source01+ state in 100Ru is measured to be T1/2=[7.5±0.6(stat)±0.6(syst)]⋅1020 yrT1/2=[7.5±0.6(stat)±0.6(syst)]⋅1020 yr. For other (0ν+2ν)(0ν+2ν) transitions to the View the MathML source21+, View the MathML source22+, View the MathML source02+, View the MathML source23+ and View the MathML source03+ levels in 100Ru, limits are obtained at the level of ∼(0.25-1.1)⋅1022 yr∼(0.25-1.1)⋅1022 yr
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
