Internal conversion electron study of excited states in 76As
Abstract
Experiments on 76Ge and 76Se are revealing new information about double beta decay and giving better insight into whether or not the neutrino is Majorana particle. New data on intermediate nucleus 76As, which is virtually populated by double beta decay modes (2 νββ , 0 νββ), should lead to important constraints on the theoretical models that allow the determination of the neutrino mass. We carried out the 76Ge(p,n γe-)76As reaction at 6.0 MeV at the ANU. Internal conversion coefficients have been obtained, giving better insight into the level structure of 76As. First results of the ongoing data analysis will be presented.
