Isovector spin-multipole strength distributions in double-β-decay triplets

In this work the energetics and strength distributions of isovector spin-dipole and spin-quadrupole transitions from the ground states of the pairs ($^{76}\mathrm{Ge}, ^{76}\mathrm{Se}$), ($^{82}\mathrm{Se}, ^{82}\mathrm{Kr}$), ($^{96}\mathrm{Zr}, ^{96}\mathrm{Mo}$), ($^{100}\mathrm{Mo}, ^{100}\mathrm{Ru}$), ($^{116}\mathrm{Cd}, ^{116}\mathrm{Sn}$), ($^{128}\mathrm{Te}, ^{128}\mathrm{Xe}$), ($^{130}\mathrm{Te}, ^{130}\mathrm{Xe}$), and ($^{136}\mathrm{Xe}, ^{136}\mathrm{Ba}$), of double-$\ensuremath{\beta}$-decay initial and final nuclei, to the ${J}^{\ensuremath{\pi}}={0}^{\ensuremath{-}},{1}^{\ensuremath{-}},{2}^{\ensuremath{-}},{1}^{+},{2}^{+}$, and ${3}^{+}$ excited states of the intermediate odd-odd nuclei $^{76}\mathrm{As}, ^{82}\mathrm{Br}, ^{96}\mathrm{Nb}, ^{100}\mathrm{Tc}, ^{116}\mathrm{In}, ^{128,130}\mathrm{I}$, and $^{136}\mathrm{Cs}$ are investigated. The calculations are performed using a proton-neutron quasiparticle random-phase approximation (pnQRPA) theory framework with the Bonn-A two-body interaction in no-core single-particle valence spaces.
