Abstract

We have measured the electron-capture decay branch of

{}^{100}{Tc}

to be (1.8±0.9)×

10^{- 3}

%, from which we deduce logft=4.

45_{- 0.30}^{+ 0.18}

. This indicates that a two-step process connecting only the ground states of

{}^{100}-^{100}

Tc

-^{100}

Ru can account for the measured 2ν double-β-decay rate of

{}^{100}{Mo}

.
