On the alpha activity of natural tungsten isotopes
Abstract
The indication for the alpha decay of 180-W with a half-life T1/2=1.1+0.8-0.4(stat)+-0.3(syst)x1018 yr has been observed for the first time with the help of the super-low background 116-CdWO4 crystal scintillators. In conservative approach the lower limit on half-life of 180-W has been established as T1/2>0.7x1018 yr at 90% C.L. Besides, new T1/2 bounds were set for alpha decay of 182-W, 183-W, 184-W and 186-W at the level of 1020 yr.
