Abstract
Transition probabilities are estimated for double capture and for single capture with single positron emission. With real neutrino emission, the mean lives for both processes should be greater than years. Without real neutrino emission, as with Majorana neutrinos, the mean life for capture in conjunction with positron emission is about years in the allowed approximation. Double capture, however, is then at least a third-order process because an additional step is necessary to remove the energy, with the result that the mean life exceeds years.
