The Single State Dominance Hypothesis and the Two-Neutrino Double Beta Decay of Mo100

  • 30 June 2000
Abstract
The hypothesis of the single state dominance (SSD) in the calculation of the two-neutrino double beta decay of Mo100 is tested by exact consideration of the energy denominators of the perturbation theory. Both transitions to the ground state as well as to the 0+ and 2+ excited states of the final nucleus Ru100 are considered. We demonstrate, that by experimental investigation of the single electron energy distribution and the angular correlation of the outgoing electrons, the SSD hypothesis can be confirmed or ruled out by a precise two-neutrino double beta decay measurement (e.g. by NEMO III collaboration).
