Direct evidence for two-neutrino double-beta decay inSe82
Abstract
The two-neutrino mode of double-beta decay in $^{82}\mathrm{Se}$ has been observed in a time-projection chamber at a half-life of ${(1.1}_{\mathrm{\ensuremath{-}}0.3}^{+0.8}$)\ifmmode\times\else\texttimes\fi{}${10}^{20}$ yr (68% confidence level). This result from direct counting confirms the earlier geochemical measurements and helps provide a standard by which to test the double-beta-decay matrix elements of nuclear theory. It is the rarest natural decay process ever observed directly in the laboratory.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
