Abstract

The unique features of the CTF and BOREXINO set ups are used for a high sensitivity study of ¹⁰⁰Mo and ¹¹⁶Cd neutrinoless 2β decay. Pilot measurements with ¹¹⁶Cd and Monte Carlo simulation show that the sensitivity of the CAMEO experiment (in terms of the T(1/2) limit for 0ν2β decay) is (3-5) x 10²⁴ yr with a 1 kg source of ¹⁰⁰Mo (¹¹⁶Cd, ⁸²Se, ¹⁵⁰Nd) and ≃ 10²⁶ yr with 65 kg of ¹¹⁶CdWO₄ crystals placed in the CTF. The last value corresponds to a limit on the neutrino mass of m(ν) ≤ 0.06 eV. Moreover, with 1000 kg of ¹¹⁶cdWO₄ crystals located in the BOREXINO apparatus the neutrino mass limit can be pushed down to m(ν) ≤ 0.02 eV. (C) 2000 Published by Elsevier Science B.V.
