Abstract
The NEMO 3 detector is mainly devoted to
the search for the neutrinoless double beta decay
(0νββ).
The detector is located in the Fréjus underground laboratory,
where it operates since February 2003.
The detector contains several isotopes,
the most abundant are 100Mo (~7 kg)
and 82Se (~1 kg).
Up to now no evidence for 0νββ decay has been observed.
The corresponding limits at 90% C.L. for the half-life are
T1/20ν
> 5.8 × 1023 years for 100Mo and
T1/20ν
> 2.1 × 1023 years for 82Se.
The half-lives of the two-neutrino double-beta decay
(2νββ) for 100Mo, 82Se,
116Cd, 150Nd, 96Zr
and 48Ca are also presented in this paper.
