New limits on the double beta decay half-lives of 94Zr, 96Zr, 116Cd and 124Sn

Searches have been made for the double beta decays of 94, 96Zr, 116Cd, and 124Sn to excited states in their daughter nuclei. No evidence of any of these decays was found, and lower limits on the half-lives against such decays have been established to be 10 18–10 19 yr. In addition, the single beta d...

Description
Summary:Searches have been made for the double beta decays of 94, 96Zr, 116Cd, and 124Sn to excited states in their daughter nuclei. No evidence of any of these decays was found, and lower limits on the half-lives against such decays have been established to be 10 18–10 19 yr. In addition, the single beta decay half-life of 96Zr has been established to be ⩾1.4×10 18 yr.
