Résumé en anglais
Limits on β+EC and ECEC processes in Sn112 have been obtained using a 380 cm3 HPGe detector and an external source consisting of 100 g enriched tin (94.32% of Sn112). A limit with 90% C.L. on the Sn112 half-life of 1.3×1021 ...Lire la suite >
Limits on β+EC and ECEC processes in Sn112 have been obtained using a 380 cm3 HPGe detector and an external source consisting of 100 g enriched tin (94.32% of Sn112). A limit with 90% C.L. on the Sn112 half-life of 1.3×1021 yr for the ECEC(0ν) transition to the 03+ excited state in Cd112 (1871 keV) has been established. This transition has been discussed in the context of a possible enhancement of the decay rate. The limits on other β+EC and ECEC processes in Sn112 have also been obtained on the level of (0.1-1.6)×1021 yr at the 90% C.L.< Réduire
