J. Toivanen et J. Suhonen, STUDY OF SEVERAL DOUBLE-BETA-DECAYING NUCLEI USING THE RENORMALIZED PROTON-NEUTRON QUASI-PARTICLE RANDOM-PHASE-APPROXIMATION, Physical review. C. Nuclear physics, 55(5), 1997, pp. 2314-2323
The renormalized proton-neutron quasiparticle random-phase approximati
on model (RQRPA) has been used to calculate double-beta-decay matrix e
lements and associated transition half-lives for two-neutrino double b
eta decay of parent nuclei Ge-76, Kr-78, Se-82, Zr-96, Cd-106, and Te-
130 to the ground state and excited one- and two-phonon states of thei
r daughter nuclei. The results are compared to ordinary proton-neutron
QRPA and experiments. In addition, the violation of the Ikeda sum rul
e in the RQRPA is examined and discussed.
