Abstract

A calcium molybdate (CaMoO₄) crystal scintillator, with molybdenum enriched in ¹⁰⁰Mo and calcium depleted in ⁴⁸Ca (⁴⁰Ca¹⁰⁰MoO₄), was developed by the Advanced Molybdenum based Rare process Experiment (AMoRE) collaboration to search for a neutrinoless double beta (0ν β β) decay of ¹⁰⁰Mo. We are planning to use about 10 kg of ⁴⁰Ca¹⁰⁰MoO₄ crystals as cryogenic bolometers for the first phase of the experiment (AMoRE-I) at the Yang Yang underground laboratory (Y2L) in Korea. This experiment calls for an extremely low level of radioactive contamination in detectors, particularly by thorium, uranium, and radium decay chains. We measured scintillation properties and radioactive contamination of CaMoO₄ and ⁴⁰Ca¹⁰⁰MoO₄ crystals at the Y2L. We also estimated the acceptable level of internal radioactive background using Monte Carlo simulation for the AMoRE-I.
