Thanks to the unmatched radio purity of the scintillator, and to the well understood detector response at low energy, a new limit on the stability of the electron for decay into a neutrino and a single monoenergetic photon was obtained. This new bound, tau >= 6.6 x 10(28) yr at 90% C.L., is 2 orders of magnitude better than the previous limit. |
