Abstract

Search for ββ-decay of Xe-136 with two high pressure proportional counters is carried out in Baksan Neutrino Observatory. The experiment is based on comparision of spectra measured with natural and enriched xenon. The measured halfe life is equal to T_1/2=5.5^+4.6_-1.7 ⋅ 10²¹ yr (67% C.L.) for ββ2ν-decay mode. No evidence has been found for neutrinoless ββ-decay. The decay half life limit based on data measured during 17280 h is T_1/2(ββ0ν)≥ 4.9 ⋅ 10²³ yr (90% C.L.).
