Abstract
The NEMO-2, tracking detector located in the Frejus Underground Laboratory was designed as a prototype For the NEMO-3 detector and to study different modes of double beta decay. Measurements with Mo-100, Cd-116. Se-82, and Zr -96 were carried out. Presented here are the experimental half-life limits on double beta decays for new Majoron emission modes and limits on effectiv e neutrino-Majoron coupling constants. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science B.V.
