Abstract

A calculation is made of the partial half-life for the

β^{-}

decay of

{}^{48}{Ca}

to the

5^{+}

state of

{}^{48}{Sc}

at 130.94±0.04 keV (an energy release of 147.1±5.0 keV). The estimated partial half-life is 760×

10^{18}

yr. This value is competitive with the most recent estimate of the partial half-life for the 2ν mode of double beta decay.
