Abstract
In order to include the effects of nuclear deformation in the calculation of the nuclear many-body matrix element involved in the double beta proay process, we have performed a calculation in the interacting boson approximation. An explicit expression for the boson image of the 2ϵB transition operator is given. Results for the128,130TeåXe decays are presented. The calculation indicates that the nuclear deformation strongly hinders the double beta decay.
