Search for double-beta decay of Nd-150 with the NEMO-3 detector

A search for neutrinoless double-beta decay (0vBB) is performed using 36.55 g of the isotope Nd-150 with 5.25 y of data from the NEMO experiment. A complete background model for this source foil is constructed using a binned likelihood fit across several observables in multiple control channels. The...
