Abstract

The possibility of neutrinoless double beta decay is studied in the photoemulsion experiment with Mo-100 isotope. The results of measurements of positron-nucleus collisions for the purpose of estimating the background events simulating 2β-decay in the nuclear photoemulsion region adjoining molybdenum conglomerates are presented.
