The NEMO-3 experiment measured the half-life of thedecay and searched for thedecay of. Using 410 g ofinstalled in the detector with an exposure of 5.26 y, () events corresponding to thedecay ofto the ground state ofhave been observed with a signal to background ratio of about 12. The half-life of thedecay has been measured to be T1/22ν=[2.74±0.04(stat)±0.18(syst)]×1019 y. No events have been observed above the expected background while searching fordecay. The corresponding limit on the half-life is determined to beat the 90% C.L. which corresponds to an upper limit on the effective Majorana neutrino mass ofdepending on the nuclear matrix elements considered. Limits on other mechanisms generatingdecay such as the exchange of R-parity violating supersymmetric particles, right-handed currents and majoron emission are also obtained.
