Abstract
The time projection chamber has been used in a magnetic field to deter mine the decay half-life of 150Nd. Measurements on a sample of the iso tope 150Nd (92% enrichment) and a sample with the natural isotopic com position, (nat)Nd, reveal T1/2(2beta2nu) = (1.7(-0.5)+1.0 +/-0.35) X 1 0(19) yr. The effect-to-background ratio is 4/1.
