摘要:

在Gran Sasso地下实验室(意大利)用超低本底高纯锗探测器对镱同位素的α和双β衰变进行了研究。测量了194.7 g Yb $_2$(C $_2$ O $_4$)$_3$粉末样品11.3 d,总Yb暴露量为1.25 kg $\times$ d。在$6\times10^{14}$ yr和$2\times10^{16}$ yr之间获得了$α$的半衰期限值-$^{168}$ Yb、$^{170}$ Yb、$^{171}$ Yb、$^{172}$ Yb、$^{173}$ Yb、$^{174}$ Yb和$^{176}$ Yb进入第一激发态的衰减模式。这些是这些衰变模式的第一个实验限制。在$1\times10^{14}$ yr到$8\times10^{16}$ yr之间的限制下,可以排除$^{168}$ Yb的双电子捕获和$^{176}$ Yb到第一激发2 $^+$和0 $^+$态的双β衰变。与先前的约束相比,这改善了关于一些衰减模式的实验信息。

英文摘要:

A search for alpha and double beta decays of ytterbium isotopes was performed with an ultra-low background high purity germanium detector at Gran Sasso Underground Laboratory (Italy). A 194.7 g Yb$_2$(C$_2$O$_4$)$_3$ powder sample was measured for 11.3~d with a total Yb exposure of 1.25 kg$\times$d. Half-life limits for $α$-decay modes of $^{168}$Yb, $^{170}$Yb, $^{171}$Yb, $^{172}$Yb, $^{173}$Yb, $^{174}$Yb and $^{176}$Yb into the first excited states have been obtained between $6\times10^{14}$ yr and $2\times10^{16}$ yr. These are the first experimental constraints of these decay modes. Double electron capture of $^{168}$Yb and double beta decay of $^{176}$Yb into the first excited 2$^+$ and 0$^+$ states could be excluded with limits between $1\times10^{14}$ yr to $8\times10^{16}$ yr. This improves the experimental information on some of the decay modes compared to previous constraints.
