Abstract
The NEMO 3 detector, devoted to search for the neutrinoless double-beta decay, will be able to reach the sensitivity to 〈mν〉 of the order of 0.1 eV. The expected performance of the detector for signal detection and both internal and external background rejection is presented. A specific study of the neutron-induced background is given. The NEMO Collaboration is now mounting the detector in the Frejus underground laboratory.
