The unique features (super-low background and large sensitive volume) of the CTF and BOREXINO set ups are used in the CAMEO project for a high sensitivity study of 100-Mo and 116-Cd neutrinoless double beta decay. Pilot measurements with 116-Cd and Monte Carlo simulations show that the sensitivity of the CAMEO experiment (in terms of the half-life limit for neutrinoless double beta decay) is (3-5) 10^24 yr with a 1 kg source of 100-Mo (116-Cd, 82-Se, and 150-Nd) and about 10^26 yr with 65 kg of enriched 116-CdWO_4 crystals placed in the liquid scintillator of the CTF. The last value corresponds to a limit on the neutrino mass of less than 0.06 eV. Similarly with 1000 kg of 116-CdWO_4 crystals located in the BOREXINO apparatus the neutrino mass limit can be pushed down to m_nu<0.02 eV.

A large cylindrical cadmium molybdate crystal with natural isotopic abundance has been used to fabricate a scintillating bolometer. The measurement was performed above ground at milli-Kelvin temperature, with simultaneous readout of the heat and the
scintillation light. The energy resolution as FWHM has achieved from 5 keV (at 238 keV) to 13 keV (at 2615 keV). We present the results of the $alpha$ versus $beta$/$gamma$ events discrimination. The low internal trace contamination of the $mathrm{CdMoO_4}$ crystal was evaluated as well. The detector performance with preliminary positive indications proves that cadmium molybdate crystal is a promising absorber for neutrinoless double beta decay scintillating bolometric experiments with $mathrm{{}^{116}Cd}$ and $mathrm{{}^{100}Mo}$ nuclides in the next-generation technique.
The CUPID-Mo experiment at the Laboratoire Souterrain de Modane (France) is a demonstrator for CUPID, the next-generation ton-scale cryogenic $0 ubetabeta$ experiment. It consists of a 4.2 kg array of 20 enriched Li$_{2}$$^{100}$MoO$_4$ scintillating
bolometers to search for the lepton number violating process of $0 ubetabeta$ decay in $^{100}$Mo. With more than one year of operation (2.16 kg$times$yr of physics data), no event in the region of interest and hence no evidence for $0 ubetabeta$ is observed. We report a new limit on the half-life of $0 ubetabeta$ decay in $^{100}$Mo of $T_{1/2} > 1.5 times 10^{24},$yr at 90 % C.I. The limit corresponds to an effective Majorana neutrino mass $langle m_{betabeta} rangle$ $<$ (0.31--0.54)$,$eV, dependent on the nuclear matrix element in the light Majorana neutrino exchange interpretation.
Energy resolution, alpha/beta ratio, pulse-shape discrimination for gamma rays and alpha particles, temperature dependence of scintillation properties, and radioactive contamination were studied with CaMoO4 crystal scintillators. A high sensitivity e
xperiment to search for neutrinoless double beta decay of 100-Mo by using CaMoO4 scintillators is discussed.
The double-beta decay of $^{116}$Cd has been investigated with the help of radiopure enriched $^{116}$CdWO$_4$ crystal scintillators (mass of 1.162 kg) at the Gran Sasso underground laboratory. The half-life of $^{116}$Cd relatively to the $2 u2beta$
decay to the ground state of $^{116}$Sn was measured with the highest up-to-date accuracy as $T_{1/2}=(2.63^{+0.11}_{-0.12})times10^{19}$ yr. A new improved limit on the 0$ u$2$beta$ decay of $^{116}$Cd to the ground state of $^{116}$Sn was set as $T_{1/2}geq 2.2 times 10^{23}$ yr at 90% C.L., which is the most stringent known restriction for this isotope. It corresponds to the effective Majorana neutrino mass limit in the range $langle m_ uranglele(1.0-1.7)$ eV, depending on the nuclear matrix elements used in the estimations. New improved half-life limits for the 0$ u$2$beta$ decay with majoron(s) emission, Lorentz-violating $2 u2beta$ decay and $2beta$ transitions to excited states of $^{116}$Sn were set at the level of $T_{1/2}geq 10^{20}-10^{22}$ yr. New limits for the hypothetical lepton-number violating parameters (right-handed currents admixtures in weak interaction, the effective majoron-neutrino coupling constants, R-parity violating parameter, Lorentz-violating parameter, heavy neutrino mass) were set.
Double beta decay of $^{116}$Cd has been investigated with the help of radiopure enriched $^{116}$CdWO$_4$ crystal scintillators in the experiment Aurora. The half-life of $^{116}$Cd relatively to the 2$ u$2$beta$ decay of $^{116}$Cd to the ground le
vel of $^{116}$Sn is measured with the highest up-to-date accuracy as $T_{1/2}$ = [2.69 $pm$ 0.02 (stat.) $pm$ 0.14 (syst.)] $times$ 10$^{19}$ yr. A new improved limit on the 0$ u$2$beta$ decay of $^{116}$Cd to the ground state of $^{116}$Sn is set as $T_{1/2}geq 2.4 times 10^{23}$ yr at 90% C.L., that corresponds to the effective Majorana neutrino mass limit in the range $langle$$m_ u$$rangle$ $le$ $(1.1-1.6)$ eV, depending on the nuclear matrix elements used in the estimations. New improved limits on other $2beta$ processes in $^{116}$Cd (decays with majoron emission, transitions to excited levels of $^{116}$Sn) were set at the level of $T_{1/2}geq 10^{21}-10^{22}$ yr.
