Triple beta decay of $^{150}$Nd to the ground and excited states of $^{150}$Eu and quadruple beta decay of $^{150}$Nd to the excited states of $^{150}$Gd have been studied using a 400 cm$^3$ low-background HPGe detector and an external source consisting of 3046 g of natural Nd$_2$O$_3$ powder. A half-life limit for the quadruple beta decay to the 0$_1^+$ state of $^{150}$Gd was found to be $T_{1/2} (0\nu+4\nu) > 8.7\times10^{20}$ yr (90\% C.L.). For other (0$\nu$+4$\nu$) transitions to the 2$_1… ## Figures and Tables from this paper ## References SHOWING 1-10 OF 45 REFERENCES Geochemical estimation of the half-life for the double beta decay of 96Zr. • Geology Physical review.
