Abstract
The NEMO-3 experiment is an experiment dedicated to the search for neutrinoless double β decay (0νββ). Detection of 0νββ decay would be direct evidence that neutrinos are Majorana particles and lepton number is violated. In NEMO-3, the separation of source isotopes from the active detector region allows for reconstruction of the full event topology, which aids in background suppression and the investigation of 0νββ decay underlying mechanisms. NEMO-3 has investigated a total of seven isotopes, 100Mo, 82Se, 116Cd, 150Nd, 48Ca, 96Zr, and 130Te, and has produced the world's best 2νββ decay half-life measurements for all of them. No indication of 0νββ decay has yet been observed. Presented here is the newly published limit of T0νββ1/2 > 1.1 × 1024 y (90% C.L.) for 37 kg·y exposure of 100Mo.
