Average and recommended half-life values for two-neutrino double-beta decay: Upgrade ’05

  • Published:
Czechoslovak Journal of Physics Aims and scope

Abstract

All existing “positive” results on two-neutrino double-beta decay in different nuclei were analyzed. Using the procedure recommended by the Particle Data Group, weighted average values for half-lives of 48Ca, 76Ge, 82Se, 96Zr, 100Mo, 100Mo−100Ru(0 +1 ), 116Cd, 150Nd, 150Nd− 150Sm(0 +1 ) and 238U were obtained. Existing geochemical data were analyzed and recommended values for half-lives of 128Te, 130Te, and 130Ba are proposed. We recommend the use of these results as presently the most precise and reliable values for half-lives.
