Abstract
Scintillators are suitable to act as source-detectors in several beta beta decay searches. Here improved limits on neutrinoless beta beta de cays of Ca-46 and Ba-130 are achieved by analysing the energy distribu tion collected deep underground at the Gran Sasso National Laboratory by using, respectively, CaF2(Eu) and BaF2 scintillators.
