Theoretical results on the double positron decay of 106Cd

Theoretical results for the double positron decay of 106Cd are presented. The calculated values for the lateral single-beta-decay feeding patterns and electromagnetic transitions leading to states in 106Cd and 106Pd are discussed and compared to the data. The results on the double positron decay of 106Cd are compared to new experimental limits. Based on the results of the present calculations, we report on the possibility of detecting the EC/EC or the β+/EC decay modes to final Jπ=0+ states using the improved sensitivity of the planned measurements.
