Abstract

The energy resolution, α/β ratio, temperature dependence of the scintillation properties, and the radioactive contamination of CaMoO4 crystal scintillators were studied. The use of pulse-shape discrimination to distinguish γ rays and α particles also was examined. A high sensitivity experiment to search for the 0ν2β decay of 100Mo using CaMoO4 scintillators is discussed.
