Abstract
The results of a search for the 2beta+ and Kbeta+ decay modes of Kr-78 , in a coincidence experiment using a high pressure ionization chamber of enriched Kr-78 inside an array of sodium iodine scintillators, are presented. After 4434 h of counting time, the half-life lower limits obtained are T1/2(Kbeta+)0nu greater-than-or-equal-to 5.1 X 10(21) yr and T1/2(2beta+)0nu+2mu greater-than-or-equal-to 2.0 X 10(21) yr at 68 % C.L.
