摘要
The double beta decay of Nd-150 to the first excited 0(+) level of Sm-150 (E-exc = 740.5 keV) has been investigated with the help of the ultra-low-background setup consisting of four HP Ge (high-purity germanium) detectors (similar or equal to 225 cm(3) volume each one) at the Gran Sasso underground laboratory of INFN (Italy). A highly purified 2.381-kg sample of neodymium oxide (Nd2O3) was used as a source of gamma quanta expected in the decays. Gamma quanta with energies 334.0 keV and 406.5 keV emitted after deexcitation of the 0(1)(+) 740.5 keV level of Sm-150 are observed in the coincidence spectra accumulated over 16375 h. The half-life relatively to the two neutrino double beta decay Nd-150 -> Sm-150(0(1)(+)) is measured as T-1/2 = [4.7(-1.9)(+4.1)(stat) +/- 0.5(syst)].10(19) y, in agreement with results of previous experiments.
