First search for resonant enhanced neutrinoless double electron capture in $$^{152}$$ 152 Gd and other rare decays in natural Gd isotopes
Abstract A first search for rare decays of gadolinium isotopes was performed with an ultra-low background high-purity germanium detector at Gran Sasso Underground Laboratory (Italy). A 198 g $$\hbox {Gd}_2$$ Gd 2 $$\hbox {O}_3$$ O 3 powder sample was measured for 63.8 d with a total Gd exposure of 1...
