NEMO 3 double beta decay experiment: latest results

Understand

The double beta decay experiment NEMO~3 has been taking data since February 2003.

• The aim of this experiment is to search for neutrinoless decay and investigate two neutrino double beta decay in seven different enriched isotopes ($^{100}$Mo,$^{82}$Se, $^{48}$Ca, $^{96}$Zr, $^{116}$Cd, $^{130}$Te and $^{150}$Nd).
• After analysis of the data corresponding to 693 days, no evidence for $0\nu\beta\beta$ decay in $^{100}$Mo and $^{82}$Se was found.
• The half-life limits at 90% C.L.
