AbstraktAbstract

Double beta decay of 100Mo to the excited states of daughter nuclei has been studied using a 600 cm3 low-background HPGe detector and an external source consisting of 2588 g of 97.5% enriched metallic 100Mo, which was formerly inside the NEMO-3 detector and used for the NEMO-3 measurements of 100Mo. The half-life for the two-neutrino double beta decay of 100Mo to the excited 01+ state in 100Ru is measured to be T1/2 = [7.5 +- 0.6(stat) +- 0.6(syst)] {dot operator} 10^20 yr. For other (0v + 2v) transitions to the 21+, 22+, 02+, 23+ and 03+ levels in 100Ru, limits are obtained at the level of ~(0.25-1.1) {dot operator} 10^22 yr.
