Results of MC: a) MC results: KK events, source-detector distance = 1 mm D < 2 mm => 34.5% of registered KK events D (0.7 4) mm => 68% of registered KK events Mean distance = 3.2 mm Bg measurement from LSM: KK events, source-detector distance = 0 mm D < 2 mm => 84.7% of registered KK events D < 4 mm => 98.7% of registered KK events Mean distance = 1.2 mm b) For background measurement: D (0.7 4) mm => 25% of registered bg events Using distance cut D (0.7-4) mm Improving S/B ratio by factor of 2.6
19 Activities performed with Si pixel detectors 1) Selection of materials, design of detector : to suppress intrinsic background 2) Background measurement with single Si pixel det.: surface + underground (LSM), 1 month; 1s s time window, Pb shield 3) Development of coincidence mode: stack of pixel detectors (face2face arrangement).

24 SPT setup proposal Estimation of limit for EC/EC decay of 106 Cd for 1 pair of Timepix quads: If background = 0 : T 1/2 > (e. t.

25 Summary and future plans Study of 2 EC/EC of 106 Cd, modes with gammas (HPGe detector) TGV-2 setup (based on HPGe detector telescope) has provided result comparable with theoretical predictions 23 grams of 106 Cd (98.4% enrichment) available TGV, SPT, background level Considering next generation setup SPT (Silicon Pixel Telescope) based on Si pixel detectors TimePix Heading for a prototype based on the four-fold Si Timepix stack (face-to-face arrangement) 1) Background measurement with single Si pixel detector made of cuflon PCB: in LSM, 2-3 months; 1s time window, Pb shield 2) Background measurement with prototype of Si pixel stack (coincidence mode, double side events) 3) Si pixel stack made of cuflon PCB + background measurement 4) Construction of quad pixel detector stack one pair, (up to 5-7 pairs).
