摘要
Cadmium tungstate crystal scintillators enriched in Cd-116 to 82% ((CdWO4)-Cd-116, total mass of approximate to 1.2 kg) are used to search for 2 beta decay of Cd-116 deep underground at the Gran Sasso National Laboratory of the INFN (Italy). The radioactive contamination of the (CdWO4)-Cd-116 crystals has been studied carefully to reconstruct the background of the detector. The measured half-life of Cd-116 relatively to 2 nu 2 beta decay is T-1/2(2 nu 2 beta) 1/2 = [2.8 +/- 0.05(stat.) +/- 0.4(syst.)] x 10(19) yr, in agreement with the results of previous experiments. The obtained limit on the 0 nu 2 beta decay of Cd-116 (considering the data of the last 8696 h run with an advanced background 0.12(2) counts /yr/kg/keV in the energy interval 2.7-2.9 MeV) is T-1/2 = 1.0 x 10(23) yr at 90% C. L. The sensitivity of the experiment to the 0 nu 2 beta process is lim T1/2 = 3x1023 yr at 90% C. L. over 5 years of the measurements and it can be advanced (by further reduction of the background by a factor 3-30) to the level of lim T-1/2 = (0.5-1.5) x 10(24) yr for the same period of the data taking.
