Theoretical results on the double positron decay of Cd-106

Theoretical results for the double positron decay of Cd-106 are presented. The calculated values for the lateral single-beta-decay feeding patterns an d electromagnetic transitions leading to states in Cd-106 and Pd-106 are di scussed and compared to the data. The results on the double positron decay of Cd-106 are compared to new experimental limits. Based on the results of the present calculations, we report on the possibility of detecting the EC/ EC or the beta (+)/EC decay modes to final J(pi) = 0(+) states using the im proved sensitivity of the planned measurements.
