Abstract
We report results from the NEMO-3 experiment based on an exposure of 1275 days with 661 g of Te130 in the form of enriched and natural tellurium foils. The ββ decay rate of Te130 is found to be greater than zero with a significance of 7.7 standard deviations and the half-life is measured to be T1/22ν=[7.0±0.9(stat)±1.1(syst)]×1020 yr. This represents the most precise measurement of this half-life yet published and the first real-time observation of this decay.Received 11 April 2011DOI:https://doi.org/10.1103/PhysRevLett.107.062504© 2011 American Physical Society
