Description

A search for majoron emission accompanying neutrinoless double beta decay in 76Ge was conducted with a low background germanium detector in the St. Gotthard underground laboratory. No evidence for neutrinoless double beta decay with or without majoron emission was found, with a lower limit for the half life of the majoron branch of t1/2>1.2x1021 years at 90% confidence level and t1/2>5.4x1022 years (90%c.l.) for the branch without majoron emission
