摘要
The pairing properties of the neutrinoless double-beta decay (0 nu 2 beta) candidate Mo-100 have been studied, along with its daughter Ru-100, to provide input for nuclear matrix element calculations relevant to the decay. The (p, t) two-neutron transfer reaction was measured on nuclei of Ru-102,Ru-100 and Mo-100,Mo-98. The experiment was designed to have particular sensitivity to 0(+) states up to excitation energies of similar to 3 MeV with high energy resolution. Measurements were made at two angles and L = 0 transitions identified by the ratio of yields between the two angles. For the reactions leading to and from Ru-100, greater than 95% of the L = 0 (p, t) strength was in the ground state, but in Mo-100 about 20% was in excited 0(+) states. The measured (p, t) data, together with existing (t, p) data, suggest that Mo-100 is a shape-transitional nucleus while Ru-100 is closer to the spherical side of that transition. Theoretical calculations of the 0 nu 2 beta nuclear matrix element may be complicated by this difference in shape.
