76 Ge, 130 Te and 136 Xe are very stable nuclei. If a neutrino is a Majorana
Question:
76Ge, 130Te and 136Xe are very stable nuclei. If a neutrino is a Majorana particle it might decay via the double beta mechanism without neutrinos. Assume a half life T1/2 = 1027 for each. What is the average number of decays expected in one year in 1 t of each isotope?
