Abstract
A search for double positron decay and electron capture with positron emission in the transition 78Kr(0gs+) → 78Se(0gs+) has been carried out by using a high pressure ionization chamber surrounded by a set of NaI detectors. Coincidences between the emitted positron(s) and the two (four) consequent annihilation gammas have been looked for as signature(s) of the process(es). The ionization chamber of krypton gas (enriched up to 94.08% in the 78 isotope) registers the positron energy, whereas the set of sodium iodide scintillators searches for the annihilation gamma rays. The features and performances of the experimental device are presented and the results obtained for the half-life limits of the processes investigated are reported.
