摘要：
A CaF2 scintillation detector system (ELEGANT VI) is developed to search for neutrino-less double beta decay (0nuDBD) of Ca-48. No events were observed around the Q-value energy region after the analysis of 4.23 kg yr data. To derive the lower limit for the half-life, the expected number of background events was estimated by a Monte Carlo simulation using the measured activities of Bi-214 and Rn-220 inside CaF2 crystals. A new lower limit is obtained to be 1.8 x 10(22) yr at the 90% C.L.
