Abstract:Large-scale shell-model calculations were carried out for the half-lives and branching ratios of the 2νββ decay of 76 Ge to the ground state and the lowest three excited states 2 + 1 , 0 + 2 and 2 + 2 in 76 Se. In total, the wave functions of more than 10,000 intermediate 1 + states in 76 As were calculated in a three-step procedure allowing an efficient use of the available computer resources. In the first step, 250 lowest states, below some 5 MeV of excitation energy, were calculated without truncations with… Show more
