Double-beta decay to excited states in 150Nd
Abstract
The pseudo SU(3) model is used to study the double-beta decay of 150Nd to the ground and excited states of 150Sm. Low-lying collective excitations of 150Sm and its BE(2) intensities are well reproduced. Expressions for the nuclear matrix elements of the two-neutrino double-beta decay to excited states are developed and used to describe the decay of 150Nd. The existence of selection rules which strongly restricts the decay is discussed.
