Abstract
The full data set of the NEMO-3 experiment has been used to measure the half-life of the two-neutrino double beta decay of 100 Mo to the ground state of 100 Ru, 𝑇1/2=[6.81±0.01( stat )+0.38−0.40( syst )]×1018 year. The two-electron energy sum, single electron energy spectra and distribution of the angle between the electrons are presented with an unprecedented statistics of 5×105 events and a signal-to-background ratio of ∼ 80. Clear evidence for the Single State Dominance model is found for this nuclear transition. Limits on Majoron emitting neutrinoless double beta decay modes with spectral indices of n=2,3,7 , as well as constraints on Lorentz invariance violation and on the bosonic neutrino contribution to the two-neutrino double beta decay mode are obtained.
