description

A reliable theoretical calculations on two-neutrino and neutrinoless double-beta-decay rates requires a solid description about the nuclear structure of the intermediate nuclear states. It has been suggested that the ordinary muon capture could be used to probe the structure of the intermediate states in double beta decays.
