An experiment to search for double beta decay in
106 Cd is running in the DAMA/CRYS set-up at the Gran Sasso National Laboratory of the INFN (Italy). In this experiment a106 CdWO4 crystal scintillator (215 g) enriched in106 Cd to 66%, used in previous measurements in different configurations, is now in measurement in coincidence with two large volume low background CdWO4 crystal scintillators in close geometry. This further measurement will allow us to reach a sensitivity at the level of the most sensitive double β+ experiments (T1/2 1020 -1022 yr) and to explore the region of the theoretical expectations for some decay modes.
