Obsah
The double beta decay of 100Mo to
the 0+1 and 2+1 excited states
of 100Ru is studied using the NEMO 3 data.
After the analysis of 8024 h of data
the half-life for the two-neutrino double beta decay of 100Mo
to the excited 0+1 state is measured to be
T1/2(2ν) = [5.7+1.3−0.9 (stat.) ± 0.8 (syst.)]×1020 y.
The signal-to-background ratio is equal to 3.
Information about energy and angular distributions of emitted electrons
is also obtained.
No evidence for neutrinoless double beta decay to the excited 0+1 state has been found.
The corresponding half-life limit is
T1/2(0ν)
(0+ → 0+1)
> 8.9 ×1022 y
(at 90% C.L.).
The search for the double beta decay to the
2+1 excited state
has allowed the determination of limits on the half-life for
the two neutrino mode
T1/2(2ν)
(0+ → 2+1)
> 1.1 ×1021 y
(at 90% C.L.) and for the neutrinoless
T1/2(0ν)
(0+ → 2+1)
> 1.6 ×1023 y
(at 90% C.L.).
