AbstraktAbstract

A search for the processes of double beta decay of 82Se into excited states of 82Kr is conducted using the OBELIX setup. The measurements are conducted using a 600 cm3 HPGe detector. The detector is surrounded by 6.5 kg of enriched selenium (the content of 82Se was ~92.5%). The data collected over 17 572.2 h of measurements are given. As a result, a world-record sensitivity is reached for transitions of this type. Specifically, we have found an indication of the existence of two-neutrino 82Se decay into the first 0+82Kr excited state with a half-life of × 1022 years.
