Electron capture on 116In and implications for nuclear structure related to double-\beta decay
Abstract
The electron capture decay branch of 116In has been measured to be [2.46 ± 0.44(stat.) ± 0.39(syst.)] × 10−4
using Penning trap-assisted decay spectroscopy. The corresponding Gamow-Teller transition strength is shown
to be compatible with the most recent value extracted from the (p, n) charge-exchange reaction, providing a
resolution to longstanding discrepancies. This transition can now be used as a reliable benchmark for nuclearstructure
calculations of the matrix element for the neutrinoless double-β decay of 116Cd and other nuclides.
