Ge76and
Ge-76 is a stable isotope of the chemical element germanium (Ge) with a mass number of 76. It has 32 protons and 44 neutrons, and is one of the five naturally occurring stable germanium isotopes: Ge-70, Ge-72, Ge-73, Ge-74, and Ge-76. In natural germanium, Ge-76 accounts for about 7.8 percent of the isotopic composition.
Ge-76 occurs in germanium-bearing minerals and is present in refined germanium metal. It is not radioactive
Enriched Ge-76 is widely used in the field of nuclear and particle physics. High-purity germanium detectors
Ge-76 is a candidate nucleus for studying neutrinoless double beta decay (0νββ). Observing 0νββ in Ge-76 would
