The coincidence technique can offer a useful way to investigate β and ββ decay processes in 48 Ca. In this paper the results of a preliminary experimental search are presented. In particular, here the first experimental limit on the half life of the ββ2ν(0 + -2 + ) decay of 48 Ca has been obtained;

✦ Synopsis
A 48 CaCO 3 powder sample containing 20.18 g of 48 Ca was measured for 797 h with a 400 cm 3 low-background HPGe detector. New limits on decays of 48 Ca were obtained. For single beta transitions to 48 Sc the limits are equal to 0.71 × 10 20 y, 1.1 × 10 20 y, and 0.82 × 10 20 y for transitions to the ground state, excited 5 + and 4 + states, respectively. The new limits on double beta decay to excited states of 48 Ti are equal to 0.47 × 10 20 y, 1.1 × 10 20 y, and 0.90 × 10 20 y for transitions to the first 2 + , second 2 + and first 0 + excited states, respectively. All limits are given at the 90% CL.
