摘要
The present status of experiments seeking double-beta decay is surveyed. The results of the most sensitive experiments are discussed. Particular attention is given to describing the NEMO-3 detector, which is intended for seeking the neutrinoless double-beta decay of various isotopes (Mo-100, Se-82, etc.) with a sensitivity as high as T-1/2 similar to 10(25) yr, which corresponds to a sensitivity to the Majorana neutrino mass at a level of 0.1 to 0.3 eV. The first results obtained with the NEMO-3 detector are presented. A review of the existing projects of double-beta-decay experiments where it is planned to reach a sensitivity to the Majorana neutrino mass at a level of 0.01 to 0.1 eV is given.
