Abstract
The atomic mass relations among the mass triplet $^{96}\mathrm{Zr}$, $^{96}\mathrm{Nb}$, and $^{96}\mathrm{Mo}$ have been determined by means of high-precision mass measurements using the JYFLTRAP mass spectrometer at the IGISOL facility of the University of Jyv\"askyl\"a. We report $Q$ values for the $^{96}\mathrm{Zr}$ single and double $\ensuremath{\beta}$ decays to $^{96}\mathrm{Nb}$ and $^{96}\mathrm{Mo}$, as well as the $Q$ value for the $^{96}\mathrm{Nb}$ single $\ensuremath{\beta}$ decay to $^{96}\mathrm{Mo}$, which are ${Q}_{\ensuremath{\beta}}(^{96}\mathrm{Zr})=163.96(13)$, ${Q}_{\ensuremath{\beta}\ensuremath{\beta}}(^{96}\mathrm{Zr})=3356.097(86)$, and ${Q}_{\ensuremath{\beta}}(^{96}\mathrm{Nb})=3192.05(16)\text{ }\text{ }\mathrm{keV}$. Of special importance is the $^{96}\mathrm{Zr}$ single $\ensuremath{\beta}$-decay $Q$ value, which has never been determined directly. The single $\ensuremath{\beta}$ decay, whose main branch is fourfold unique forbidden, is an alternative decay path to the $^{96}\mathrm{Zr}$ $\ensuremath{\beta}\ensuremath{\beta}$ decay, and its observation can provide one of the most direct tests of the neutrinoless $\ensuremath{\beta}\ensuremath{\beta}$-decay nuclear-matrix-element calculations, as these can be simultaneously performed for both decay paths with no further assumptions. The theoretical single $\ensuremath{\beta}$-decay rate has been re-evaluated using a shell-model approach, which indicates a $^{96}\mathrm{Zr}$ single $\ensuremath{\beta}$-decay lifetime within reach of an experimental verification. The uniqueness of the decay also makes such an experiment interesting for an investigation into the origin of the quenching of the axial-vector coupling constant ${g}_{A}$.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; both teacher heads agree on what is shown here.
