Abstract.
Weak interactions cause the atomic nuclei to decay via beta and double beta
decays. Double beta decays are extremely rare since they are weak-interaction processes
of the second order. Also (single) beta decays can be extremely rare. This can be caused
by either a large di
ff
erence between the spins of the initial and final state (the so-called
“forbidden” beta decays) or an extremely small
Q
value (decay energy) of the decay. All
these cases are discussed in this article, and particular emphasis is given to the neutrino-
less double electron capture on the double beta side of decays.
