Abstract

To investigate double beta decay processes the NEMO collaboration developed an electron tracking detector made of Geiger cells for track reconstruction and plastic scintillators for energy measurements. The prototype, NEMO-2, is described and results onββ decay of100Mo,116Cd,82Se and96Zr are given. A brief presentation of the status and design parameters of a new detector NEMO-3, which is approximately 20 times larger, will also be given.
