✦ Synopsis
The NEMO-2 prototype, built for background measurements and located in the Frejus Underground Laboratory (4800 m w.e.) has provided results with three /3/3 decay sources, "'MO '%d and *'Se with data accumulated , over a total of 23000 h. Final results of /3fl2v half-lives measurements and limits on OV modes are given here. The NEMO-3 detector which will be able to accomodate sources of 10 kg is now under construction. The aim of the experiment is to reach a half-life measurement of N 10z5y for PpOv decay, which corresponds to a Majorana neutrino msss of N O.leV for "'MO.
