Search for electron capture in ¹⁷⁶Lu with a lutetium yttrium oxyorthosilicate scintillator

RADIOACTIVITY ¹⁷⁶Lu(β^-), (EC); measured X-rays, Eγ, Iγ, self-scintillation spectra of Lu-containing crystal, Eβ, Iβ, βγ-coin; deduced upper limits on the branching fraction for specific electron capture channels, limits on the partial T_1/2 for the EC processes. Scintillator detector based on LYSO crystal placed in from of HPGe detector.
