Abstract: (APS)
The single Majoron emission mode (ββB) and the double Majoron emission mode (ββBB) in the neutrinoless double β decays of Mo100 were studied by using the ultralow background nuclear spectrometer ELEGANTS V. Lower limits on the half-lives were deduced as T12ββB>7.9×1020 yr and T12ββBB>5.3×1019 yr (68% C.L.), respectively. They set the upper limit of |〈gB〉|<2.0×10−4 on the Majoron coupling constant, and the lower limit of MZ̃>0.038 GeV on the Majorana mass of the Z-ino.
