Scientific paper

Neutrinoless double beta decay will be sought with the NEMO 3 detector to investigate physics beyond the standard model. Combinations of Monte-Carlo calculations and background measurements indicate that the detector will ultimately be limited by the background from two neutrino double beta decay events. Source purity is discussed in the context of HPGe measurements, and backgrounds from gamma rays and neutrons are presented. Given the current configuration, NEMO 3 is expected to be sensitive to half-life limits of the order of 1025y which for 100Mo will reach an effective neutrino mass as low as 0.2 eV.
