Description
The double-β decay Q value of 150Nd was determined by using the JYFLTRAP Penning trap mass spectrometer. The measured mass difference between 150Nd and 150Sm is 3371.38(20) keV. This new value deviates by 3.7 keV from the previously adopted value of 3367.7(22) keV and is a factor of 10 more precise. Accurate knowledge of this Q value is important because 150Nd is a primary candidate to be used in the search for neutrinoless double-β decay modes in several experiments.
