Abstract
No evidence for the neutrinoless double-beta decay of Mo-100 has been found in a search using a segmented Si(Li) detector with source foils enriched to 97% Mo-100. After 0.2664 mol yr of exposure, we report a 1 sigma lower limit on the half-life for the J(P) = 0+ --> 0+ transitio n of 0.44 x 10(23) yr.
