Description

We have built a Xenon TPC to study neutrinoless double beta decay in 136Xe. After a period of 6820 hours, from which we extract limits, a background study of the most evident background sources, has been performed. The results of these preliminary studies are presented. (authors). 5 refs., 4 figs
