摘要
AMoRE (Advanced Mo based Rare process Experiment) collaboration is going to use calcium molybdate crystals as cryogenic scintillation detector in a search for neutrinoless DBD of Mo-100 isotope. Simultaneous detection of phonons and light will be used to reject internal background. A FWHM resolution of 0.2% in the phonon channel has been achieved with a 0.5 cm(3) crystal. Several (CaMoO4)-Ca-40-Mo-100 crystals (approximate to 0.5 kg) have been developed from enriched Mo-100 and depleted Ca-40 materials. The light yield of these crystals has been shown to be comparable with reference CaMoO4 scintillators for temperatures ranging down to 8 K. The content of dangerous radioisotopes in the crystals is under measurement. The projected sensitivity of the experiment for a 250 kg x years exposure is lim T-1/2 similar to 3 x 10(26) years, which corresponds to the effective Majorana neutrino mass < mv > similar to 0.02 - 0.06 eV.
