Summary
This interim concerns essentially candidats who are interested in the same thesis project published on the website of INSTN (see external link above). During the internship the candidate will start working on the bibliographie of the subject and the experimental technique.
Full description
The nuclear two-photon, or double-gamma decay is a rare decay mode in atomic nuclei whereby a nucleus in an excited state emits two gamma rays simultaneously. Even-even nuclei with a first excited 0+ state are favourable cases to search for a double-gamma decay branch, since the emission of a single gamma ray is strictly forbidden for 0+ -> 0+ transitions by angular momentum conservation. The double-gamma decay still remains a very small decay branch (
