Abstract

A 64 cell low-energy electron tracking detector with multiwire drift tubes operating in the Geiger mode and filled with helium is described. Low radioactive materials have been used to build the detector. Data corresponding to 5619 hours in the Fréjus Underground Laboratory are presented. Conclusions are drawn for the possibility of using such a detector for a double beta decay experiment.

Measurement of double beta decay of <sup>100</sup>Mo to excited states in the NEMO 3 experiment
2007, Nuclear Physics A
The double beta decay of ¹⁰⁰Mo to the $0_{1}^{+}$ and $2_{1}^{+}$ excited states of ¹⁰⁰Ru is studied using the NEMO 3 data. After the analysis of 8024 h of data the half-life for the two-neutrino double beta decay of ¹⁰⁰Mo to the excited $0_{1}^{+}$ state is measured to be $T_{1 / 2}^{(2 ν)} = [{5.7}_{−0.9}^{+1.3} (stat.) \pm 0.8 (syst.)] \times 10^{20} y$ . The signal-to-background ratio is equal to 3. Information about energy and angular distributions of emitted electrons is also obtained. No evidence for neutrinoless double beta decay to the excited $0_{1}^{+}$ state has been found. The corresponding half-life limit is $T_{1 / 2}^{(0 ν)} (0^{+} \to 0_{1}^{+}) > 8.9 \times 10^{22} y$ (at 90% C.L.).
The search for the double beta decay to the $2_{1}^{+}$ excited state has allowed the determination of limits on the half-life for the two neutrino mode $T_{1 / 2}^{(2 ν)} (0^{+} \to 2_{1}^{+}) > 1.1 \times 10^{21} y$ (at 90% C.L.) and for the neutrinoless mode $T_{1 / 2}^{(0 ν)} (0^{+} \to 2_{1}^{+}) > 1.6 \times 10^{23} y$ (at 90% C.L.).
Technical design and performance of the NEMO 3 detector
2005, Nuclear Instruments and Methods in Physics Research, Section A: Accelerators, Spectrometers, Detectors and Associated Equipment
The development of the Neutrino Ettore Majorana Observatory (NEMO $\sim 3$ ) detector, which is now running in the Fréjus Underground Laboratory (L.S.M. Laboratoire Souterrain de Modane), was begun more than ten years ago. The NEMO 3 detector uses a tracking-calorimeter technique in order to investigate double beta decay processes for several isotopes. The technical description of the detector is followed by the presentation of its performance.
Status report on the double-β decay experiment NEMO-3
2002, Nuclear Physics B - Proceedings Supplements
The aim of the NEMO collaboration is to search for neutrinoless double beta decay and thus to investigate physics beyond the Standard Model. The expected sensitivity for the effective neutrino mass is on the order of 0.1 eV. The NEMO3 detector will be completed and ready to start measurements by the end of the year 2001. Since June 2000, three contiguous sectors have been operating in the Fréjus Underground Laboratory (France). This trial run has provided a check on the functionality of the counters and the tracking device.
Gamma-ray flux in the Fréjus underground laboratory measured with NaI detector
2002, Nuclear Instruments and Methods in Physics Research, Section A: Accelerators, Spectrometers, Detectors and Associated Equipment
The γ-ray flux in the Fréjus underground laboratory has been studied using an NaI detector surrounded by different diagonostic shields. Below $4 MeV$ , the spectrum is dominated by radioactivities in the surrounding materials and rocks. Between 4 and $6 MeV$ , the shape of the spectrum is well explained by U, Th and daughters, which are internal contaminations in the NaI crystal. Between 6 and $10 MeV$ , the γ-ray flux is strongly correlated with neutron captures in the surrounding materials. Finally, the γ-ray flux above $10 MeV$ falls off and is related to the very weak cosmic muon flux via muon bremsstrahlung.
Influence of neutrons and γ-rays in the Frejus underground laboratory on the NEMO experiment
2001, Nuclear Instruments and Methods in Physics Research, Section A: Accelerators, Spectrometers, Detectors and Associated Equipment
To be sensitive to an effective Majorana neutrino mass, 〈m_ν〉, on the order of 0.1 eV, the NEMO 3 double beta (ββ(0ν)) decay experiment requires precise knowledge and control of the backgrounds. The effect of neutrons and γ-rays from the Fréjus underground laboratory (LSM, Laboratoire Souterrain de Modane) has been studied during 10 700 h of data collection. The data were taken with a NEMO 2 prototype detector using different shield configurations. Monte Carlo calculations with GEANT/MICAP code and a new library of γ-rays from neutron captures are presented. The implied consequences for the NEMO 3 detector which is under construction are discussed. The neutrinoless double beta decay background induced by neutrons and γ-rays within the LSM will be suppressed to the very suitable level of 0.1 event in a live time of five years given the appropriate shield and magnetic field.
Double beta decay with the NEMO experiment : Status of the NEMO 3 detector
2000, Nuclear Physics B - Proceedings Supplements
The NEMO 3 detector, now mounting in the Fréjus underground laboratory, is devoted to search for neutrinoless double beta decay and will be able to reach the sensitivity to the effective neutrino mass (<m_ν>) in the order of 0.1 eV. The expected performance of the detector for signal detection and both internal and external background rejections are presented. A specific study of the neutron induced background is given.
