Abstract: (APS)
The two-neutrino double β decay matrix elements of Ni58, Ru96, Cd106, and Ce136 are calculated in the framework of the quasiparticle random phase approximation and the corresponding double β+/electron-capture (EC) decay (β+β+/β+EC/ECEC) half-lives are estimated. The calculated ground-state-to-ground-state half-lives range from 3.9×1023 to 6.4×1019 yr indicating that the double β+/EC decay could, in principle, be detected using currently known experimental techniques.
