NEMO-3 Collaboration(Argyriades, J. et al), Martin-Albo, J., & Novella, P. (2010). Measurement of the two neutrino double beta decay half-life of Zr-96 with the NEMO-3 detector. Nucl. Phys. A, 847(3-4), 168–179.
Abstract: Using 9.4 g of Zr-96 isotope and 1221 days of data from the NEMO-3 detector corresponding (0 0.031 kg y, the obtained 2 nu beta beta decay half-life measurement is T-1/2(2 nu) = [2.35 +/- 0.14(stat) +/- 0.16(syst)] x 10(19) yr. Different characteristics of the final state electrons have been studied, such as the energy sum, individual electron energy, and angular distribution. The 2v nuclear matrix element is extracted using the measured 2 nu beta beta half-life and is M-2 nu = 0.049 +/- 0.002. Constraints on 0 nu beta beta decay have also been set.
