Quasi Random Phase Approximation Predictions on Two-Neutrino Double Beta Decay Half-Lives to the First 2⁺ State

Two-neutrino double beta decay (2νββ) half-lives to the first excited state are calculated in the framework of quasi random phase approximation. The quadrupole transition probabilities and the 2νββ decay amplitudes to the final ground states are reproduced by using adjustable parameters. The obtained half-lives are compared with the corresponding experimental data.
