Abstract
The NEMO 3 experiment is devoted to the search for 0νββ decay and measurement of 2νββ decay. Half-lives of the 2νββ decay have been measured with high accuracy for 7 kg of 100Mo, T1/2 = [7.11 ± 0.02 (stat.) ± 0.54 (syst.)] × 1018 y, and for 1 kg of 82Se, T1/2 = [9.6 ± 0.3 (stat.) ± 1.0 (syst.)] × 1019 y. After analysis of data corresponding to 693 days, no evidence for 0νββ decay was found. The obtained half-life lower limits at 90% C.L. for 0νββ decay are 5.8 × 1023 y for 100Mo and 2.1 × 1022 y for 82Se. The double beta decay of 100Mo to the excited 0+1 and 2+1 states of 100Ru is also being studied with NEMO 3.
