Abstract

The collaboration TGV has finished measurement of 2νEC/EC decay of 106Cd with 10 g (Phase I) and 13.6 g (Phase II) samples (with enrichment of 75%), respectively. The times of measurements were 8687h (Phase I) and 12900h (Phase II). The half‐life limits (at 90% CL) were obtained for 2νEC/EC decay of 106Cd to the ground state of 106Pd as T1/2>3.0×1020 y (Phase I) and T1/2>4.2×1020 y (Phase II). The collaboration decided to continue with the study of 2νEC/EC decay of 106Cd using 23 g of an isotope enriched to 98.4%. We plan to use the TGV II spectrometer for this measurement and also Si pixel detectors for further study of double beta decay (ββ) processes.
