Double beta decay of ${}^{100}Mo$: the deformed limit

Abstract

The double beta decay of ${}^{100}Mo$ to the ground state and excited states of ${}^{100}Ru$ is analysed in the context of the pseudo SU(3) scheme. The results of this deformed limit are compared with the vibrational one based on the QRPA formalism. Consistency between the deformed limit and the experimental information is found for various $\beta \beta$ transitions, although, in this approximation some energies and B(E2) intensities cannot reproduced.
