Description

A Xenon TPC with an active volume of 180 liters has been built to study the neutrinoless double beta decay in 136Xe. Data were taken in the Gotthard Underground Laboratory with 5atm of xenon enriched to 62% in 136Xe. A total of 7647 hours of data has been taken. New limits on neutrino mass and majoron decay are presented. ((orig.))
