Additional information

Measurement of all individual components of internal and external backgrounds in NEMO3 which defines its sensitivity to the DBD signal and has served as a "handbook" for other low background experiments. Saakyan has contributed to the definition of a Radon background model inside the tracker and an external background model. He also coordinated the analysis of the background systematic error, in particuar by comparing different topologies of radon progenies decays, and systematic effects due to PMT gain variations.
