A. Poves (simultaneous to our publication): NO CANCELLATION !! there is no B(GT + ) strength, except for lowest 1 + state 3x10 -3 Recall: 136 Xe is almost doubly magic!! Shell model provides conclusive explanation for the deemed „pathologically“ long half -life of 136 Xe. Expt‘l test: 136 Ba(d, 2 He) 136 Cs
136 Xe b-b- 136 Ba expmt: 2nbb NME is exceptionally small question: how does the ME scale in the case of 0nbb decay? could it be that: 2nbb ME is suppressed AND 0nbb ME is enhanced ???
