Electron-capture Branch of $^{100}$Tc

ORAL

Abstract

We present a measurement of the electron-capture branch of $^{100}$Tc performed at the JYFLTRAP facility in Jyv\"askyl\"a, Finland. The electron-capture branch of $^{100}$Tc determines the solar neutrino absorption cross section of $^{100}$Mo and provides an important test of nuclear-structure calculations for double-beta decay. We discuss implications of this result for theoretical double-beta decay rates from $^{100}$Mo to the ground and excited states of $^{100}$Ru.
