An experiment to search for double β (2β) decay of ¹⁰⁶Cd with the help of a low-background cadmium tungstate crystal scintillator developed from cadmium enriched in ¹⁰⁶Cd to 66 % (106CdWO4, 215 g) is in progress at the STELLA facility of the Gran Sasso underground laboratory (INFN, Italy). The ¹⁰⁶Cd...
