Search for the double beta decay of Zr-96 with NEMO-3 and calorimeter development for the SuperNEMO experiment

Using 9.4 g of Zr-96 and 1221 days of data from the NEMO-3 detector corresponding to 0.031 kgy, the obtained 2vbb decay half-life measurement is [2.35 \pm 0.14(stat) \pm 0.16(syst)] \times 10_{19}yr. Different characteristics of the final state electrons have been studied, such as the energy sum, in...
