Introduction to NEMO 3
The NEMO 3 detector uses a tracking calorimeter technique
to investigate double beta decay processes for several
different isotopes. It is housed in the Laboratoire
Souterrain de Modane on the French/Italian border,
in a tunnel linking Modane to Bardonnecchia. The detector
is cylindrical and is divided into twenty equal sectors.
Main Detector Components
There are four main components of the NEMO 3
detector:
Tracking Chamber
Calorimeter
Source Foils
Shielding

Double Beta Decay

My Analysis
I am working on two of the isotopes in the NEMO 3 detector: Ca48 and Mo100.
