Abstract

Scintillation properties and radioactive contamination of calcium molybdate scintillating crystals depleted in 48 Ca and enriched in 100 Mo ( 40 Ca 100 MoO 4 ) have been studied to prepare a 100Mo-based neutrinoless double beta decay experiment. The prospects of a neutrinoless double beta decay experiment using 40Ca 100 MoO 4 crystals are discussed.
