Abstract

No evidence for the neutrinoless double-β decay of

{}^{100}{Mo}

has been found in a search using a segmented Si(Li) detector with source foils enriched to 97%

{}^{100}{Mo}

. After 0.2664 mole years of exposure, we report a 1σ lower limit on the half-life for the

J^{P}

=

0^{+}

→

0^{+}

transition of 0.44×

10^{23}

years.
