Abstract

Double beta decays (β β ) from the 0⁺ ground state in ¹¹⁶Cd to the 0⁺ ground state in ¹¹⁶Sn were studied by means of ELEGANT V. A finite half-life for the two-neutrino ββ (2νββ ) and an upper limit on the neutrinoless one (0νββ) were obtained as T^2ν_1/2=2.6^+0.9_-0.5× 10¹⁹, y and T^0ν_1/2>6.3× 10²¹, y (68\The nuclear matrix element M^2ν_ββ was deduced as 0.069± 0.009 in units of (m_ec²)^-1. This supports the universal quenching of the 2νββ rates in this mass region, which is consistent with that previously measured in ¹⁰⁰Mo.
