New limit for the half-life of double beta decay of ⁹⁴Zr to the first excited state of ⁹⁴Mo

RADIOACTIVITY ⁹⁴Zr(2β^-); measured Eγ, Iγ using TiLES with low background, high efficiency p-type HPGe and three plastic scintillators outside the box; deduced lower T_1/2 limit for transition to ⁹⁴Mo 2⁺₁ state.
